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.

Ambroise Colette Alexandre Verschaffelt (December 11, 1825 - May 16, 1886), Belgian horticulturist, son of Alexandre-Jacques Verschaffelt (1801-1850). Lived 1853 in 50, rue du Chaume, Ghent.
[From Gartenflora, 1853, p.64:] "Mr. Paul Robichon, earlier the head of the department for rose culture in the Etablissement Van Houtte in Gent, has married Madame Verschaffelt, and is thus now the head of the famous nursery of Louis Verschaffelt in Roeyghem-Lez-Gand in Belgium."
[From l'Illustration horticole, May 1886, p. 76:] M. Ambroise Verschaffelt. La Société royale d'Agriculture et de Botanique de Gand a fait une grande perte en la personne de son vice-président M. AMBROISE VERSCHAFFELT qui a succombé le 16 mai dernier à la terrible maladie qui le minait depuis longtemps. Né à Gand, le 11 décembre 1825, il fut, jeune encore, appelé à diriger l'établissement que son père, ALEXANDRE VERSCHAFFELT, avait fondé en 1825 rue du Chaume, à Gand. C'est ce même établissement qui devint plus tard la propriété de M. J. LINDEN et qui, après avoir subi de notables améliorations, est actuellement le siége de la Compagnie Continentale d'Horticulture.
[From Gartenflora 1898, p. 175:] In 1870, Jean Jules Linden purchased the nursery of Ambroise Verschaffelt in Ghent...
