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.

ART. I. Notes and Reflections made during a Tour through Part of France and Germany, in the Autumn of the Year 1828.
By the CONDUCTOR. [J. C. Loudon]
Oct. 5. — Vibert's Nursery, at St. Denis, was commenced in 1828; M. Vibert having been driven from his former situation at Paris by the ravages of the ver blanc.* The only article which he cultivates is the rose, of which he has several hundred varieties, a great many of which were raised by himself from seed. When he has procured a new and valuable sort, especially if it belongs to the Indian species (Rosa indica and semperflorens), he buds it on the current year's shoots of a stool of the Rosa reversa (the original plant of this species, we were informed, was found by chance in M. Vilmorin's ground for proving seeds in Paris); lays these shoots down after the buds have begun to push; and the shoot proceeding from the bud, deriving nourishment from the roots emitted into the soil as well as from the stock, being thus greatly strengthened, pushes vigorously, so as to admit of layers being rooted and taken off the same season. This is quicker work than could be practised in England.
