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.

[From Lyon horticole, May 1913, Nr. 9, p. 167:] Léon Simon était un des plus notables horticulteurs de ce pays. On lui .doit les collections très remarquables d’arbres fruitiers et d’arbres forestiers ou d’ornement qu’il avait réunies à Nancy, où il s’était fixé, voulant rester Français après la guerre de 1870. Il s’était assuré la collaboration de deux habiles et savants pomologues et pépiniéristes, MM. Jules et Victor Jouin.....Léon Simon fut longtemps président de la Société centrale d'horticulture de Nancy qu’il avait aidé à fonder. Il était né à Metz en 1854. Son père et son oncle étaient les fondateurs dans cette ville de la célèbre maison Simon-Louis frères.
