  7. #January 28, 1694
    #OTD Peter Collinson, English #Botanist from Peckham & #Quaker merchant is born.

    He introduced 200 #Plants to England, including the #Ailanthus or #Tree of #Heaven, #Planted in rows near his grave.

    John Bartram sent him new specimens from America. He also corresponded w/ Linnaeus & Benjamin Franklin.

    Peter once wrote a line that is inscribed on #Sundial-s,

    "Forget not me & my #Garden."

    Peter's final words were, "Few men have enjoyed life more - I cheerfully resign!"
