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.

Some three or four years ago, Mr. Noble exhibited several other crosses, many of which appear to partake of the blood of C. florida, but nothing more has been seen of them till this year, when a group was exhibited at South Kensing ton, which showed that some of them, at least, are destined to secure a share of the public favour. In one of them, the property of fragrance appears to be more fully developed than had been previously noticed. We append a few notes on the several varieties :
PROTEUS.- A variable sort; the flowers are sometimes quite double, at other times semi-double; the colour is a purplish-lilac; they are about eight inches in diameter.
Magazine  (Jul 1876)  Page(s) tab 217.  
 
Mr. Noble has also received certificates this year for ...... C. Proteus, a rosy purple double or semi-double flower, which is likely to be the forerunner of a very useful race.
