MORE ABOUT LABELS. 



The question of good labels is con- 

 tinually coming up. A writer in tne 

 Flower Grower contributes the follow- 

 ing from her experience. 



Wood. — White pine stakes well 

 painted with white-lead and linseed 

 oil, and labeled with lamp-black and 

 linseed oil may be depended upon for 

 years of service, whether in or out of 

 the ground. The little pointed white 

 pine labels are better bought unpaint- 

 ed, if for outdoor service, as the paint 

 put on at the factory fluffs off from 

 exposure to the weather, and carries 

 the writing with it. The unpainted la-

bels, if written on with proper pencil, 

 are perfectly good for one season, and 

 so cheap it does not pay to use any- 

 thing else, or to go to extra trouble 

 with them. The pencil I have used is 

 Eberhard Faber, weatherproof 6639. 

 The common purple indelible pencil is 

 in favor with many plant shippers, 

 written dry and then developed by the 

 moisture of the package. The writing 

 can be safe-guarded by dipping the 

 tag, when perfectly dry, in viscol. 



Paper. — Tough manila tags, written 

 on with the weatherproof pencil, prob- 

 ably also with the indelible pencil and 

 then soaked with viscol, will stand the 

 weather several years. 



Viscol is sold by the shoe stores for 

 weatherproofing shoes. It is a rub- 

 bery petroleum material thinned with 

 gasoline, presumably. 



Zinc. — Zinc strips, stamped with 

 combinations and repetitions of such 

 marks as 1, X, O, will last a lifetime, 

 either in the ground or out of it. Of 

 course a record must be kept of the 

 marks. There is a chemical mixture 



which, written on zinc with a quill, 

 gives a dead black record which will 

 stand the weather or soil for many 

 years.

The Japanese or dwarf barberry 

 (Berberis thungergii) does not rust. 

 It is entirely harmless and should not 

 be disturbed. This is very fortunate, 

 because it is a beautiful bush which 

 can be used to replace the common 

 barberry to a considerable extent.
