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.

Red Varieties
Richard Carvel (Brand).  8.8.  What Mons. Jules Elie is to pinks, this variety is to the early crimsons.  On account of its extra early blooming, large size, and splendid qualities, this variety has already become a well-established favorite.  The demand is increasing from year to year.  We advise those who wish to purchase this sort, to get their order in early.  A single plant on the lawn is attractive and delightful.  It is beautiful and lasting, and on account of its delicate fragrance, is valuable as a cut flower.  The best of all early dark reds.  The odor of most reds is offensive, but the odor of Richard Carvel is pleasant and pronounced, a very rare quality in a red flower.
