    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.

    Leader
    E. G. Hill Co.'s Red Premier
    We have had four dark sports of Premier, which we have been testing for the past three years. One of these was noticeable for holding its color best, not showing pale shadings, and always coming a fine red in cool weather; this we labeled Leader to avoid confusion.

    Premier has sported in similar fashion in several places over the country, and we think they will all be found nearly identical in character.

    This break has produced a valuable rose on account of its fine color--which is a deep cerise red; added to the fine qualities of the parent, buyers can grow it just as they do Premier without experiment; it is not as full as Premier, but opens into an immense flower of splendid keeping quality.

    Will be found an exceedingly popular and profitable cold weather red.
