Page 3 The Bloody Angle One newspaper reported on the reunion of Philadelphians and Pickett’s men at this historic spot. “Over the stone wall at the Bloody Angle, “the high water mark of the rebellion,” survivors of the Phila- delphia Brigade and Pickett’s divi- sion, who fought on the spot 50 years ago today, clasped hands and wept on each other’s shoulders.” Old, torn battle flags of both sides were crossed over the line. At a given signal, Confederates rushed to the wall and extended their hands to the waiting veterans of the North. “Fifteen thousand per- sons, assembled at points of van- tage, cheered themselves hoarse. It reverberated over the slope, reach- ing the camp where veteran’s, too tired to go to Bloody Angle, caught the echo, and, knowing its meaning, joined the cheering.” ““Comrade, let us be the first of the Philadelphia Brigade and Pickett’s Division to clasp hands this afternoon,” ex- claimed Isaac E. Tibben, the wearer of the ancient blue uniform.” “Yank, I sure will, and this is the grandest and proudest moment of my79 years.,” replied W. H. Jerpen of Rich- mond, Virginia. At the end of the ceremony, bronze medals were given to survivors of Pickett’s Divi- sion by John Wanamaker through a representative.

    PART II PERSONAL PAPERS AND ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS Allen, Paul Hamilton, 1911-1963 Collection 1 RG 4/1/5/15 Photographs, 1937-1959 (1.0 linear feet) Paul Allen was a botanist and plantsman of the American tropics. He was student assistant to C. W. Dodge, the Garden's mycologist, and collector for the Missouri Botanical Garden expedition to Panama in 1934. As manager of the Garden's tropical research station in Balboa, Panama, from 1936 to 1939, he actively col- lected plants for the Flora of Panama. He was the representative of the Garden in Central America, 1940-43, and was recruited after the War to write treatments for the Flora of Panama. The photos consist of 1125 negatives and contact prints of plant taxa, including habitat photos, herbarium specimens, and close-ups arranged in alphabetical order by genus and species. A handwritten inventory by the donor in the collection file lists each item including 19 rolls of film of plant communities in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The collection contains 203 color slides of plants in Panama, other parts of Central America, and North Borneo. Also included are black and white snapshots of Panama, 1937-1944, and specimen photos presented to the Garden's herbarium. Allen's field books and other papers that may give further identification are housed at the Hunt Institute of Botanical Documentation. Copies of certain field notebooks and specimen books are in the herbarium curator correspondence of Robert Woodson, (Collection 1, RG 4/1/1/3). Gift, 1983-1990. ARRANGEMENT: 1) Photographs of Central American plants, no date; 2) Slides, 1947-1959; 3) Black and White photos, 1937-44.

  • Historic Bartram's Garden
    HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY JOHN BARTRAM HOUSE AND GARDEN (Bartram’s Garden) HALS No. PA−1 Location: 54th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard, Philadelphia, Independent City, Pennsylvania. Present Owner: City of Philadelphia. Present Occupant: The John Bartram Association. Present Use: Historic botanic garden, public park, and offices of the John Bartram Association. Significance: Bartram’s Garden is the oldest surviving botanic garden in the United States. John Bartram (1699−1777), the well-known early American botanist, explorer, and plant collector founded the garden in September 1728 when he purchased a 102-acre farm in Kingsessing Township, Philadelphia County. John Bartram’s garden began as a personal landscape, but with a lifelong devotion to plants grew to become a systematic collection as he devoted more time to exploration and the discovery of new North American species and examples. Its evolution over time both reflected and fostered Bartram’s vital scientific achievements and important intellectual exchange. Although not the first botanic collection in North America, by the middle of the eighteenth century Bartram’s Garden contained the most varied collection of North American plants in the world, and placed John Bartram at the center of a lucrative business centered on the transatlantic transfer of plants. Following the American Revolution, Bartram’s sons John Bartram, Jr. (1743–1812) and William Bartram (1739–1823), continued the international trade in plants and expanded the family’s botanic garden and nursery business. Following his father’s lead, William became an important naturalist, artist, and author in his own right, and under his influence the garden became an educational center that aided in training a new generation of natural scientists and explorers.

  • The Introduction of Japanese Plants Into North America
    Bot. Rev. (2017) 83:215–252 DOI 10.1007/s12229-017-9184-3 The Introduction of Japanese Plants Into North America Peter Del Tredici1,2 1 Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, 1300 Centre Street, Boston, MA 02131, USA 2 Author for Correspondence; e-mail: [email protected] Published online: 8 June 2017 # The New York Botanical Garden 2017 Abstract This article describes the history of plant introductions from Japan into North America, from the Perry Expedition in 1854 through the collections of George Rogers Hall of Bristol, Rhode Island and Thomas Hogg of New York City between 1861 and 1875. Both men sent plants to the innovative nurseryman, Samuel Bowne Parsons of Flushing, Long Island, who propagated and sold them to the gardening public. This process, which took more than twenty years from initial collection through commercial distribution, succeeded in adding innumerable Japanese species into the ornamental landscapes of North America, including Japanese maple, kousa dogwood, panicle hydrangea, and Sawara cypress. Unfortunately these early introductions also included a number of species which escaped cultivation and have become infamously invasive, including oriental bittersweet, kudzu, porcelain berry and Japanese honeysuckle. The pioneering work of these three horticulturists–compounded over the past hundred and fifty years–has had a profound impact on both cultivated and wild landscapes across North America. Keywords George Rogers Hall . James Hogg . Thomas Hogg . Invasive species . Japanese horticulture . Kissena nurseries . New York Botanical Garden . Samuel B. Parsons . Samuel Parsons, Jr. Introduction Landscape gardening–the large-scale planting of trees, shrubs and lawns for ornamental purposes–did not really become popular in the United States until after the Revolu- tionary War, once the American economy got back on its feet and commercial ties with England were reestablished.

  • 121 PLEASANT ST Name of Resource: Joseph Meehan House
    ADDRESS: 121 PLEASANT ST Name of Resource: Joseph Meehan House Proposed Action: Designation Property Owner: CDPHI LLC Nominator: Keeping Society of Philadelphia Staff Contact: Megan Cross Schmitt; [email protected] OVERVIEW: This nomination proposes to designate the property at 121 Pleasant Street and list it on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The nomination contends that the property satisfies Criteria for Designation A and J. Under Criterion A, the nomination argues that the property is significant owing to its association with the life and work of Joseph Meehan, “a prominent editor, horticulturalist, landscape gardener, nurseryman, writer and veteran of the Civil War.” Under Criterion J, the nomination argues that the property is significant as a representation of the “commercial and cultural legacy of the larger Meehan family in Mt. Airy, Germantown, and Philadelphia.” Joseph Meehan was the brother of famous botanist, author, and publisher Thomas Meehan, who ran Meehan & Sons Nursery in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia. The nomination implies that the yard to the west of the house is historically significant because Meehan “no doubt began planting on the grounds” when he purchased the property in 1880. However, the nomination does not identify any specific features including plants that might convey that significance. The nomination states that “the feeling of a bygone era is further amplified by the ample landscape of matured trees and plantings that occupy the large undeveloped lots on both sides of the dwelling.” The yard to the west was historically associated with the Meehan house. Houses stood on the parcels to the east until after 1962.
