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 New Yorker at Large By G.D. Seymour
[...] Today the best roses include the Premier, the Talisman, the Mrs. Frank Pierson, the Claudius Pernet and the two 1929 varieties crowned at this year's flower show [the International flower show at Grand Central Palace], The President Hoover and Mrs. Herbert Hoover.
[...] The roses named for the Hoovers will not be seen generally for another year or two, for the seedlings from the hybrids have still to be distributed among growers.
