BARTRAM GARDEN (DISCONTINUED) 
Founded 1728 by John Bartram on the banks of the Schuylkill 
River. The site is now within the city limits of Philadelphia, and 
is preserved as a historic “ monument.” It was continued by 
William Bartram, son of John. Harshberger considers the 
Gingko biloba, planted by John, as the first Gingko to be planted 
in America since it is larger than the one in Woodland Cemetery 
(Philadelphia) which Charles 5S. Sargent considered the oldest. 
Discontinued about the end of the 18th century. John Bartram, 
2nd, erected a building on the site in 1775.
