TAGGING IS IMPORTANT 
Preparedness in the matter of tags cannot be 
too much emphasized. There is no reason why you 
should not know your dahlias by name, and it is 
embarrassing to a genuine garden lover not to be 
able to answer the queries of visitors who come to 
admire his blooms. 
The self-respecting and careful gardener will 
have legible tags, strongly wired, attached to plants, 
or stakes, before harvest time. As the end of the 
growing season approaches he will go through his 
garden and be sure that each tag is accurately 
identified with the plant it represents. Slender 
wire will be replaced bj^ strong copper or galvanized 
wire. In many cities, and at amusement parks, slot 
machines may be found that for a cent or two will 
punch names in raised letters on strips of alumi- 
num. Such tags are ever-lasting, can always be 
read, the soil that may become attached to them in 
storage piles can be rubbed off in a moment without 
injuring their legibility in the least, and they can- 
not rust or decay.
