Throughout her career, she corresponded and collaborated with Charles Peck. She is commemorated with the rest of her family with statues in their hometown.[1] She functioned as a mentor to Liberty Hyde Bailey, whom she first met in 1876, when she was already established and he an eighteen-year-old student interested in botany.[4] References{{Wikicommons}}1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=amtGAwAAQBAJ|title=Ladies in the Laboratory?
