Pennsylvania Quakers John Bartram (1699-1777) and Humphry Marshall (1722-1801) have been frequently connected in histories of early American plant science, but it is not always apparent how closely related the two botanists were. As first cousins, and part of a large extended family, Bartram and Marshall, (and their close relations) made a good living from botanic collection for export to Europe. This talk will discuss the Bartram and Marshall plant business—their gardens, botanical collections, publications, and the 18th c. trade in North American plants. In the generation following botany and horticulture have remained an important part of the cultural history of the Philadelphia area.
