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.

The Japanese Peonys.
The nomenclature of this whole family is in a chaotic state, and the Paeony Society is hard at work naming and classifying them. I append Henry Dreer's list:
Topaz. Deep rose, shading lighter at the margin.

Japanese Single-flowering Herbaceous Pæonies.
No other plant flowering at the same season can vie with the Single Pæony for beauty, and an established bed, when in full bloom, with the large, silky flowers measuring from 6 to 7 inches across, and appearing like immense single Roses, is simply gorgeous.
Topaz. Deep rose, shading lighter at the margin.
