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.

GARDEN NOTES.
By "HORTULANUS "
Among the new roses there are a few that promise to prove valuable additions to the list of first class flowers. The Queensland raised Penelope has proved quite equal to any of the imported ones and can be safely placed in the very first rank. Another locally raised variety Míss Pollock is a wonderful little flower; the blooms are small but are borne in
immense clusters and the first bloom that opens holds perfect until every bud in the cluster has opened. This is almost unique among cluster roses as usually the first flowers fade long before all the buds are out. Miss Pollock is very free flowering and small plants are quickly crowned with beautiful flower heads. This is a valuable variety to grow as a pot plant. Use a ten inch flower pot, make a strong compost of good loam, a little sand and well rotted cow manure, with a sprinkling of bone dust. Obtain a good strong plant in a pot and shift into the larger pot, disturbing the roots as little as possible. Plunge the pot with the rose in an open flower bed and give a good watering. The rose will grow just as if it was out in the open border. When it is in full bloom the pot can be lifted and brought into the house. Madame Norman Levavasseur is another rose which may be grown in this manner, and makes a nice mate for Miss Pollock as the habit of growth is similar, but the flowers are a bright crimson.
