HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.
We do not have ANY photos of this Breeder!

Please do not upload someone else's photos without their permission. Thanks!

Crousse
Nancy, France
François Crousse (1793-1852) also bred pelargoniums, phlox in his nursery in Epinal.
[From "Annales de la Société d'émulation du département des Vosges", 1834, p. 433:]
... grâces aux soins, aux dépenses et aux études pratiques de M. Crousse (François), jardinier à Epinal, nous n'avons plus rien à envier aux établissemens de ce genre fondés dans les villes voisines. Cet intelligent fleuriste s'est formé en quelque sorte luimême. Sa passion pour les végétaux exotiques a seule soutenu son zèle dans tous ses sacrifices. .....M. Crousse, qui au début de sa nouvelle carrière n'avait qa'une petite conserve de trois vitraux, possède aujourd'hui deux serres de douze mètres chacune, une hâche de dix mètres, une autre serre de sept mètres pour forcer la végétation, enfin une hollandaise à vitraux pour dévancep la floraison.
Pendant la rigueur des froids, des milliers de pots, contenant des végétaux de haute et basse tige provenant des zones intertropicales , de superbes orangers, les plus vieux d'Epinal, embellissent ces serres. A côté des genres cactus et epiphillum, se remarquent de nombreuses et magnifiques espèces de camélia, de fougères, de Fuchsia, (d'azalea, de jasmins, de mamillaria, de rhipsalis, de mimosa, etc., etc.
