Collinson, himself a lover of plants, was a fellow Quaker and a member of the Royal Society, with a familiar relationship with its president, Sir Hans Sloane. Collinson shared Bartram's new plants with friends and fellow gardeners.

Earl Petre's untimely death in 1743 led to his American tree collection being auctioned off to Woburn, Goodwood and other large English country estates; thereafter Collinson became Bartram's chief London agent.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">Bartram's Boxes, as they then became known, were regularly sent to Peter Collinson every fall for distribution in England to a wide list of clients, including the Duke of Argyll, James Gordon, James Lee and John Busch, progenitor of the exotic<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><a style="text-decoration: none; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #0b0080;" title="Loddiges" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loddiges">Loddiges</a><span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>nursery in London. The boxes generally contained 100 or more varieities of seeds, and sometimes included dried plant specimens and natural history curiosities as well. Live plants were more difficult and expensive to send and were reserved for Collinson and a few special correspondents.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">In 1765 after lobbying by Collinson and Benjamin Franklin in London,<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><a style="text-decoration: none; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #0b0080;" title="George III of the United Kingdom" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom">George III</a><span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>rewarded Bartram a pension of &pound;50 per year as King's Botanist for North America, a post he held until his death. With this position, Bartram's seeds and plants also went to the royal collection at Kew Gardens. Bartram also contributed seeds to the Oxford and Edinburgh botanic gardens. He was elected a foreign member of the<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><a style="text-decoration: none; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #0b0080;" title="Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Swedish_Academy_of_Sciences">Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences</a><span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>in Stockholm in 1769.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">Most of Bartram's many plant discoveries were named by botanists in Europe.
