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.

B. V. Rossi: .....And who has forgotten Conlan’s classic bloom of Muriel Grahame and its mystifying glass shade, which caused so much merriment and speculation as to its raison d’etre? I could have enlightened the curious, having chanced to overhear Mrs. Arthur Tuckett asking Mr. Conlan himself the why and the wherefore of it, to which he replied “Oh, people breath on it!” There is no doubt that that glass shade helped to keep green the memory of that delightful bloom.

Muriel Graham, a most difficult rose to get results from. We remember, however, Mr. Conlan’s wonderful champion of this variety. And did he not protect his beauty from vulgar gaze and the dread of human touch by enclosing her in a glass shade.
