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.

W. Beattie, Thornbury, Vic. As You Were. S. F. Mann, of Ceres, near Geelong, grew roses for many years and then decided to come to Melbourne to exhibit some of them. He started in the Novice class, and it was my first effort also in the novice. When I saw Mr. Mann’s blooms on the show bench, I thought that I had got into open class by mistake! I had to wait until the following show to win the novice class!

The picture below shows Mr. and Mrs. James Mann in portion of their garden at Ceres. Mrs. N. L. Waltson, writing from Geelong says their farm is situated on the banks of the Barwon River, a few miles north-west of Geelong, and the fertile flats are especially suitable for Roses. There is plenty of room and they are able to make a rose garden wherever they think best; a good water supply is another factor in their success. For twenty-five years Mr. Mann has been one of the most successful exdhibitors at the Melbourne shows and, at times has shown blooms of exceptional value.

Susie E. Watson, News and Notes from Geelong. Recently I visited Mr. James Mann’s wonderful Rose garden at Ceres, four miles from Geelong as the crow flies ………….Mr. Mann’s homestead is beautifully situated on the banks of the Barwon. His Rose gardens are well protected from the four winds by ti-tree screens, and look very healthy and well grown; and no wonder, in such an ideal spot, with splendid light loam on clay subsoil, and three rose lovers to give them every care, Mr. Mann having the good fortune to possess a wife and son who are as keen on Rose growing as he is, which is saying a good deal.
