Botanical History On This Day
1801 Humphrey Marshall, cousin to the Bartrams and “Father of American Dendrology,” died. He created America’s second botanical garden and championed native trees and shrubs.
1883 The PHS Chrysanthemum Show opened at Philadelphia’s Horticultural Hall—an early public celebration of mums and their rich global symbolism.
1896 John H. Redfield, Asa Gray’s friend and Philadelphia’s botanical host, sought a permanent home for his herbarium after decades preserving the city’s plant history.
