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.

Wilhelm Keffel
Kunst- und Handelsgärtner in Braunschweig (Norddeutschland).
Laut Nachrichten aus Braunschweig erregte die Päonienflor des Herrn Wilhelm Keffel dortselbst im Laufe dieses Sommers außerordentliche Bewunderung und fand allgemeinen Beifall. Die neuen Parmentier'schen Päonien sollen in der That unübertroffen dastehen. Die Päonien blühen zu einer Zeit, wo die übrige Gartenflor spärlich ist, schon deshalb sollten sie besser gepflegt werden.

[advertisement] New varieties of "Paeonia herbacea."
The following collection is the result of 40 years of seed breeding by the mayor J. Parmentier of Enghien (in France). These magnificent varieties in dark colors were purchased by van Houtte in Ghent. - Faubert - Princesse Antonie d'Aremberg - Pottsii elegans - Prince Charles - Eclatant - Verschaffelt - Joseph Parmentier - Prince Prosper - Doyen d'Enghien - Fulgida - La Sublime - François d'Ortegat - Pio Noni.
I am offering the piece for 20 Sgr.  [Silbergroschen] - 12 varieties to 7 Thaler
I also have 24 varieties in light-flowering types with fragrant flowers, in pale, dark and white, all heavily double varieties, of which I have the dozen in 12 varieties with names at 1 thr. 20 Sgr. calculate. Pleasant orders are produced in strong tubers from mid-August to the end of September (the best planting time).
Wilhelm Keffel
Art and commercial gardener in Braunschweig (Northern Germany).
According to news from Braunschweig, Mr. Wilhelm Keffel's peony flower caused extraordinary admiration and general applause there this summer. The new Parmentier peonies are indeed said to be unsurpassed. The peonies bloom at a time when the other garden flowers are sparse, so they should be looked after better.
