Martha Daniell Logan (December 29, 1704–June 28, 1779) was an American-born horticulturalist, educator, and writer in Charleston, South Carolina. She operated a business dealing in seeds and nursery plants, and wrote an influential gardening advice column.
History
Financial necessity most likely compelled Martha Daniell Logan to pursue commercial opportunities that were unusual for a woman of her social station. Her father, Robert Daniell (1646–1718), a British merchant engaged in maritime trade with Barbados and Bermuda, had immigrated to the Carolinas in 1679. Granted the status of Landgrave, he became one of the largest landowners in the colony and served in prominent military and political roles, including as deputy governor.[1] Evidently concerned with the education of Martha and her siblings, he made provisions in a will of 1709 for their “schooling, and all other things necessary for [their] education.”[2] A year after Daniell’s death in May 1718, his widow married the planter Col. George Logan Sr. (1669–1721), and in July 1719 fourteen-year-old Martha married her stepbrother, George Logan Jr. (1695–1764).[3] They lived on the Wando River, ten miles from Charleston, where both the Daniell and the Logan families owned extensive property. For reasons that remain unclear, Martha Daniell Logan began the first of several moneymaking enterprises a few years after the birth of her eighth child in 1738. On March 20, 1742, she advertised her services as a teacher of reading, writing, and embroidery for “Any Persons desirous to board their Children” with her.[4] She then relocated to the city of Charleston, where on March 6, 1750, she advertised plans to open a boarding school at her house on the green near Trotts Point.[5]
Logan soon shifted her attention from teaching to horticulture. The early Charleston historian David Ramsay described her as “a great florist, and uncommonly fond of a garden,” recalling how, in 1809, she and her friend Sarah Ward Hopton (b. 1715) had “cultivated extensive gardens” in the city.[6] Local artist Charles Fraser likewise remembered Logan’s garden for its size, noting that it “occupied a large space of ground on the north of Tradd-street” opposite “a vacant lot or green.”[7] A notice published in the South Carolina Gazette in 1751 advertised “the house that Martha Logan lives in, to be let for the summer season; also a large garden separate from the house.”[8] Before long, the garden would become too valuable to let, as Logan embarked on a career as a purveyor of botanical goods, selling seeds and plants at her house, initially under her son’s name. In addition to native plants, she dealt in imported specimens. An advertisement published in the Gazette on November 12, 1753, announced the availability of “a parcel of very good seeds, flower roots, and fruit stones of several kinds” that were “just imported from London” (view text). Logan’s principal customers were Charleston neighbors, including Ann Manigault, who recorded in her diary on November 25, 1763, that she “went to Mrs. Logan’s to buy roots.”[9]
Logan’s horizons expanded following a chance encounter with Philadelphia botanist and nurseryman John Bartram, who toured her garden during a visit to Charleston in 1760. For the next three years, Logan and Bartram eagerly engaged in a mutually beneficial exchange of seeds, plants, and information. “Her garden is her delight & she hath a fine [one],” Bartram informed his London agent, Peter Collinson, in 1762.[10] Logan sent items from her garden to Bartram, as well as rare and unusual specimens he had admired in the gardens of her neighbors, such as Alexander Garden, Mary Wood Wragg (1716–1767), and Susannah Holmes Bee (1739–1771).[11] Logan was particularly keen to send Bartram Carolina plants which “may be New to you” and “be an adision [addition] to yr Collection.”[12] In return, she asked Bartram to send bulbs and double-flowering plants that her London contacts had failed to procure or took too long to send.[13]
Logan is generally credited with writing the section on kitchen garden cultivation in John Tobler’s South Carolina Almanack, first advertised in the South Carolina Gazette on December 6, 1751, as a “Gardners Kalander [sic], done by a Lady of this Province, and esteemed a very good one.”[14] It was reprinted several times, and appeared posthumously under her name in annual editions of the Palladium of Knowledge: or, The Carolina and Georgia Almanac (1796–1804).[15] According to David Ramsay, Logan also wrote a treatise on gardening at the age of seventy. In that work, he claimed, she “reduced the knowledge she had acquired by long experience, and observation, to a regular system which . . . to this day regulates the practice of gardens in and around Charleston.”[16]
