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.

Art. II. Descriptions of Mr. Feast's Seedling Rubifolia or Prairie Roses. By the Editor.

Queen of the Prairies.—Synonyms: Beauty of the Prairies, Feast's No. 1. Madame Caradori Allen of Buist's Manual. This variety has been well described in our volume VII. p. 134. It is the most splendid of the group. The flowers are very large and cupped, of a fine rose color, and appear in clusters of from ten to twenty each, often not more than three to five, unless the plants are strong. The foliage is very large, deeply serrated, and of a dark green, nearly smooth on the surface; spines, strong and rather distant.

Madame Caradori Allen.—Flowers, bright pink and semi-double, in every other respect similar to the Queen, having the same large and vigorous foliage, and habit of growth. Mr. Feast states that he did not think this variety worth preserving, after he had raised the Queen, until the last season, when its free flowering and other qualities made it a desirable variety.
