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.

This new race of hybrid Peonies starts blooming about ten days before the regular Peony season. They are of surpassing beauty, giving us reds more brilliant than we have ever had, and new shades in coral, cherry, salmon, and orange; reds free from any purple cast. The Royal Horticultural Society of England in 1956 gave their most highly prized "Award of Merit" to John Harvard, Red Monarch, Dandy Dan and Rosedale, and "Highly Commended" to Rose Marie. In the 1956 popularity poll of the American Peony Society, Chocolate Soldier, Rose Marie, John Harvard and Veritas stood among the top six kinds out of 59 red hybrids voted on.
Dandy Dan  A brilliant red bloom with some stamens showing. Beautiful form, on tall stiff stems. Color very fine. Greatly admired by visitors to our fields....$6.00
