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.

An exhibit of great interest was that from A. Noordan, of Aalsmeer. It was marked "wholesale only" but it collected a crowd most of the time. Small wonder, for 'Poinsettia' is a breathtaking scarlet, and 'Orange Delight' a clear orange of a shade I know well enough in dahlias but had not met before in Roses.

Harry Hazlewood. NSW. The New Roses of 1951. 'Koningin Juliana' (Verschuren Pechtold, 1948). Large broad petals of capucine orange with a veined reddish reverse which build up a semi-double to double fragrant bloom sometimes up to exhibition form. It is a most attractive and rich colour. According to records this variety was also known as 'Meerzicht Glory' in Holland. Although named after the crowned head of Holland (an ally of American in the last war) the name was changed in U.S.A. to 'Orange Delight'. Apparently commercial considerations over-ride International courtesies. (Incidentally a Hybrid Polyantha rose was sent out by Buisman in the same year also called 'Koningin Juliana'.
