"The garden should be adorned with roses and lilies, the turnsole, violets, and mandrake;
there you should have parsley, cost, fennel, southern-wood, coriander, sage, savory,
hyssop, mint, rue, dittany, smallage, pellitory, lettuces, garden-cress, and peonies. There
should also be beds planted with onions, leeks, garlic, pumpkins and shallots. The
cucumber growing in its lap, the drowsy poppy, the daffodil and brank-ursine ennoble
a garden. Nor are there wanting, if occasion further thee, pottage-herbs: beets,
herb-mercury, orache, sorrel and mallows, anise, mustard, white pepper and
wormwood do good service to the gardener."
-Alexander of Neckham, Of the Nature of Things, 1187
