On the early plan the names of the plants were written on the
drawing. Here numbers have been substituted for the names and the
names listed separately.  In some cases both the religious and
common names were not given on the plan.  Missing names have been
added in parentheses.  Roses, lilies and irises - general emblems
of Mary - are listed as "Her Flower(s)". The six roses listed, all
old varieties, are from a number of different classes of cultivated
roses.
