BIOGRAPHYHarvard University Asa Gray, then America’s leading botanist, needed an assistant, and Beal recommended Bailey. By February 1883 Bailey was working at Harvard, arranging and classifying a large collection of pressed plants from Kew Gardens in London. He continued to learn from discussions with Gray about systematic and structural botany. Also significant to Bailey’s training were the vast collections at the Arnold Arboretum, the Cambridge Botanical Garden, the greenhouses and scientific agricultural work of the Bussey Institution, and the noted market gardens in nearby Arlington.
