Notched Labels 



This is another type of short-hand label similar in 

 its use and interpretation to the ones shown on page 270. 

 Each series oj notches tells a different story, and the key to their inter- 

 pretation is found in the record books. Two notches, for example, 

 might represent the Alaska daisy and three notches the variety named 

 Westralia. The top label above would then record the hybridizing 

 of these two varieties. {The small rxotches for the 

 string are not counted.) Mr. Burbank finds this 

 method of keeping track of e.xperi- 

 rnents highly satisfactory.
