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.

Single Pæonies.
These are now mostly out of bloom, but in spite of the dry weather, they made a fine display during last month, and might have been seen at their best as early as the first week in May, in the nursery of Messrs. Barr & Son, Long Ditton, Surrey. [...]
The flowers of P. anemonæflora are rich crimson, with very numerous yellow anthers that are very prominent in the centre.

Pæonia Officinalis Flore Pleno.
Many years ago the double forms of the common Pæony were the most common in cultivation, and were the glory of many a cottage garden. Since then, however, the Siberian P. albiflora has developed into a great number of varieties, both single and double, and the latter are finding theur way into numerous market gardens, private establishments, and others. We have no intention to gainsay their beauty and decorative value, but the old-fashioned P. officinalis with its double form is still very beautiful, and when well grown the latter develops flowers of immense size, perfectly double, as may be seen from our illustration which is greatly reduced, and of a deep crimson-red. There is another variety passing under the name of P. officinalis Anemonæflora, with equally double flowers, but the supernumerary petals are very narrow, as seen in some double Anemones; whereas in the ordinary double form the petals are broad and rounded, giving the flowers a handsome appearance.

Herbaceous Peonies. (with a coloured plate of P. decora elatior, lobata, and anemonæflora.)
P. officinalis anemonæflora (see the accompanying plate) is a handsome flower, crimson shaded magenta, and slightly flaked with purple.  There is also a double form, very desirable, with irregular petals, not unlike a double Anemone, but twice the size.
