Author Description

Excerpt from Botanica Neglecta In a letter, dated March 21, 1760, Dr. Garden wrote Ellis that John Bartram was staying with him for a few days. There is little doubt that Bartram was later responsible for the introduction of William Young to Dr. Garden, Young being a near neighbor of Bartram, as the sequel will show. The next reference to Young is on page 522 of the same volume, in another letter from Dr. Garden to John Ellis, dated November 19, 1764, as follows - Agreeably to your desire, I have spoken to Mr. Young, and given him your directions and my best advice so that I doubt not but his seeds and young plants will be good and his prices much lower.
