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!

"Henry M. Eddie was born in Scotland and trained as a gardener and worked at a number of large estates in Scotland. In 1910 Mr. Eddie, his wife Elizabeth and two sons emigrated to Canada and settled in British Columbia. There they took up fruit farming in the Maple Ridge–Haney area. After this venture failed the family relocated to Chilliwack where he first worked as a manager and then as Vice President of B.C. Nurseries in Sardis."

Ten years later he had his own firm "Eddie Nursery Co". Eventually it was renamed "H.M. Eddie & Sons Limited."

With the death of H.M. Eddie in January 1953, the management of the business was taken over by his son, J. Henry Eddie.
