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.

Saunders lived June 16, 1836 – September 13, 1914. He was born in England, but immigrated to Canada, settling in London, Ontario. He had many interests, but as a pharmacist he became interested in botanical things, and it is because of his interest in plants that he has been listed here. In 1886, he was appointed as the founding director of the Dominion Experimental Farms system, and set about gathering trees, shrubs, and other botanical things from all over the world for the Central Experimental Farm near Ottawa, Ontario. He retired from his Experimental Farms position in 1911.
