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 Journal of a Horticultural Tour through some parts of Flanders, Holland, and the North of France, in the Autumn of 1817, by Patrick Neill, 1823, p. 457-468:] 1821, Aug. 17.- I spent the greater part of this day in the celebrated pepiniere of L. Noisette, No. 51, Fauxbourg St Jacques, near the National Observatory....Thev roses are disposed in Groups or families, according to the general characters of their foliage and flowers, and the original species from which they are supposed to have been derived. M. Noisette has contrived to arrange no fewer than twenty-six groups, and to enumerate varities to the amount of 600. Many of these, of course, have but slender claims to distinction. But he is constantly making experiments and raising new varieties from seed, and he collects from every quarter. A new rose of considerable beauty, allied to Rosa Indica, but with pale and sweet-scented flowers, has lately had the name of Rose de Noisette bestowed on it. [From The Gardener's Magazine, 1828, p. 14:] Noisette's Nursery is one of the oldest about Paris. It appears to occupy between 6 and 18 acres; contains a tolerable collection of green-house and some hot-house plants under glass; a moderate collection of hardy trees an shrubs; and an extensive collection of roses, standards, and dwarfs.
