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.

We do not have ANY photos of this Breeder!

If you have an appropriate photo, please share it with HelpMeFind - see the UPLOAD PHOTO button on the Photos tab.

Please do not upload someone else's photos without their permission. Thanks!

Ernest Flint Kelsey (1870-1946)
[From "The Peonies", by Myron Bigger, 1962, p.38:] "Ernest Flint Kelsey of East Aurora, New York, was general manager of an electric company in Buffalo. The exact date when he began peony growing apparently is not known, but some of his first seedlings were introduced in 1933, and from then until his death there was a steady stream of very fine varieties that came from his garden. Some of the finest of these were: The Fleece, Rare China, To-Kalon, Marilla Beauty, and Mel Gedge."
