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.

[From By Any Other Name, December 2013, p. 12:]  In the 1870s, John Sievers and Frederick A. Miller operated a commercial nursery on Post Street in San Francisco as well as Exotic Gardens and Conservatories, a public venue, on the 1700 block of Mission Street. When Miller opened his own nursery, Sievers begin to focus more on roses; his entries frequently won first prize and gold medals in floral competitions. His 1886 catalog listed what Sievers considered the best 25 rose varieties available, most of them hybrid perpetuals—all imported. His later catalogs include Rainbow.
