ALL-METAL GARDEN MARKERS 
The greatest pleasure from work with flowers can only be achieved when 
t jried varieties can be permanently marked. At last we offer markers 
•pularly priced, all holders and tabs made of non-rusting, non-eorro- 
-.ive metals. All wire standards for B-201, B-202, B-210 and B-211 
are approximately eighteen inch¬ 
es in length. 
The wires used in making B-206 
and B-207 are made of non- 
rusting, non-corrosive zinc, and 
will not set up chemical action 
detrimental to the tree, shrub, 
or flower to which they are 
attached. 
All metals used in the manufac¬ 
ture of these markers weather a 
dull gray which blends into the 
background of your garden. 
The marking fluid produces a 
jet black, easy-to-read marking, 
which will last indefinitely when 
exposed to all weather condi¬ 
tions. Be sure to wipe metal 
clean and apply fluid as in¬ 
structed.
