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.

NEW CLEMATISES.
Among the pale-flowered Clematises, C. Mrs. Melville, C. Mrs. G. Mitchell Innes, and C. Thomas Tennant, are new Scotch varieties of the lanuginosa type, raised by Mr. J. Anderson Henry. The former has pale mauve flowers of great size; the second is a double variety, resembling C. John Gould Veitch in size and doubleness of the flower, but it is of a slightly paler shade of lilac-mauve. It is considered to be much superior to that variety, in that it is a perpetual bloomer, commencing in the early summer, and continuing to flower till late in the autumn; [the third is]of a delicate pink colour, changing to ivory-white with age. This produces enormous flowers, in fact, the prevailing characteristic of Mr. J. A. Henry's raising is the enormous size of their flowers. It is recommended by those sending it out as the finest light-coloured Clematis in cultivation.
