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.

Nursery named V. H. Hallock, Son & Thorpe ( - 1887), W. H. Hallock & Son (from 1888)
[From Gardeners Monthly and Horticultural Advertiser, 1880] [advertisement] V. H. Hallock, Son & Thorpe, Queens, N. Y. ..California Lilies, Candidum Lilies, Splendid New Geraniums
[From Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1881, p. 194:] V. H. Hallock, Son, & Thorpe, of Queens, N. Y., exhibited a very choice collection of Double Pelargoniums, the greater part of them seedlings raised by Mr. Thorpe of this firm
[From The Ameriucan Carnation, by Charles Willis Ward, 1903, p. 27:] The veteran horticulturist , Mr. John Thorpe, came next into the carnation field, and contributed some of the most celebrated varieties of carnations, which were sent out from the year 1883 to 1890. Mr. Thorne commenced his work on carnations about the year 1881.
[From The American Florist, Vol. 32, March 6, 1909, p. 273:] E. V. Hallock died March 2 in New York of apoplexy.
[From The American Florist, Vol. 32, July 24, 1909, p. 1315:] From the time Mr. Thorpe left Cleveland and became a member of the firm of V. H. Hallock, Son & Thorpe, Queens, N. Y. his interest and work in the advance of floriculture through exhibitions at New York and elsewhere increased rapidly. The Hallock establishment at that time was not equipped with greenhouses in a large way, and what with many small plants required for the mail order business of the firm and Mr. Thorpe's experiments in hybridizing, the modest room was pretty well taken up and crowded, probably a condition not tending to the noticeable advantage of either. The widely different conditions which these two lines of effort naturally required finally resulted in Mr. Thorpe's retirement from the firm in October, 1887
