Under the leadership of John Bartram's son, John Jr.; his granddaughter, Ann; and her husband Robert Carr (pictured at left), Bartram's Garden became a flourishing commercial nursery.
In 1783, the Bartrams issued the first printed plant catalogue in America and supplied plants for Independence Hall, George Washington's Mount Vernon, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, and E.I. duPont's Nemours. In their botanic garden and greenhouses, the Bartrams eventually propagated more than 4,000 species of native and exotic plants.
