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.

Meg, Little (polyantha) Easlea 1917; Shower of Gold X Jersey Beauty; milk-white, reverse shaded crimson, small, semi-double, in clusters of 5-20, floriferous, continuous bloom, growth 5/10, bushy, short. Sangerhausen

Little Meg, a cross between a white Hybrid Tea and Shower of Gold, is a great favourite of mine. It has glistening dark foliage, apparently quite mildew proof, and pretty white buds tipped with red which open to pure white flowers of a fair size and shape. It is very perpetual and has a charming effect when cut for arranging in small baskets or vases ; it lasts a long time in water.

Certificate of Merit to Little Meg (poly. pom., Walter Easlea). This is a very valuable addition to an increasingly popular group of Roses. The growth is dwarf and bushy, with glistening foliage of a light green colour, like Shower of Gold, which is one of its parents. The blooms are very freely produced in big clusters, and are somewhat star shape in form. It continues in flower from June until October, and is semi-double. The colour is a milky white, richly suffused with rosy crimson. It will be valuable for bedding purposes, and also for florists' use, and will be placed in commerce in June, 1917.
