THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



written on paper was to be mserted, liave 

 not given satisfaction, and most people 

 still trust to the old-fashioned slips of deal 

 smeared with white-lead as the simplest 

 and the cheapest attainable. We have re- 



polished, so as to look as bright and clean 

 as polished steel. We recommend these 

 as everlasting in wear, unaffected by wea- 

 ther and climate, very cheap, and really 

 elegant in appearance. The figure shows 



ceived some samples of labels from Man- the outlines of the six labels we have 

 Chester, to which we call attention, as received, and of their exact sizes and 

 meeting the requircmenta of amateurs I markings, so as to enable the reader to 



wlio want neat tallies that will last for 

 ever, and occasion no loss of time to write 

 names on them. They are made of zinc, 

 punched into neat shapes, with holes for 

 suspension, or legs to thrust into the soil. 

 The names or numbers are deeply stamped 

 into the metal, so tliat it is impossible to 

 efface them, and the faces of the tallies are 



judge of their utility, which a reduced 

 drawing would not do. The maker is Mr. 

 A. J. Boot, of Lloyd Street, Hulme, Man- 

 chester. The prices vary from 4s. per 

 dozen to 4s. and 5s. per 100, according to 

 size. The largest figured is 4s. per dozen, 

 the smallest os, per 100.
