APPENDIX I.
THE DAISY:
ITS HISTORY, POETRY, AND BOTANY.
There's a Daisy.—Ophelia.
Daisies smel-lesse, yet most quaint.
Two Noble Kinsmen, Introd. song.
The following Paper on the Daisy was written for the Bath Natural History and Antiquarian Field Club, and read at their meeting, January 14th, 1874. It was then published in "The Garden," and a few copies were reprinted for private circulation. I now publish it as an Appendix to the "Plant-lore of Shakespeare," with very few alterations from its original form, preferring thus to reprint it in extenso than to make an abstract of it for the illustration of Shakespeare's Daisies.
