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.

A List of Fifty of the Best Inexpensive Varieties
Pink Varieties
La Perle (Crousse).  8.5.  Pink.  If we were selecting 25 peonies for our own planting, we could not do without La Perle.  When the flower first opens, it is a beautiful soft shade of pink which gradually fades to almost a pure white.  Remarkably beautiful both in the opening bud and in the full open bloom.  The writer will never forget great vases of La Perle which graced the show room of the national show at Cleveland.  It seemed the most beautiful flower in the entire show.
