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.

Golden Fairy Polyantha - this variety of Mr. Bennett's raising will not compare with such as Gloire des Polyantha for garden decoration, but the flowers are as perfectly formed and as double as those of an Anna Ollivier, but so tiny that they individual blossoms are less than an inch in depth. In form, it is, perhaps, the most exquisite Polyantha variety in cultivation. It is rather a far-fetched description to call it golden, for the fully developed blooms are white with just a suspicion of cream at the base of the petals. The buds and some of the blooms, however, are pale apricot shaded, a fact which no doubt is responsible for it receiving the above name. The growth is strong, rather more so than in the majority of the tribe, and its habit is very bushy.

Golden Fairy (Bennett) is another pretty variety of the same type, with well-formed orange flowers, much in the way of those of 'Perle d'Or'.
