With an ordinary lead pencil write or 
print on the ample horizontal marking space 
of a PERFECT GARDEN LABEL. Set it 
in the ground near the plant you wish to 
mark. Put it in deep, so that only the 
marking space shows. 
One year, two years, three years, four 
years afterward,—at any time—you will be 
able to read easily every character of your 
marking. In damp soil or dry, acid or alka¬ 
line, sun or shade, all weathers, all seasons 
your markings will be completely legible. 
Previous markings can be readily erased 
at any time with a stiff pencil eraser and the 
label can be used again. 
The marking space is large enough for 
three or four lines of writing or even dis¬ 
play printing. In experimental gardens, 
notes may be added at any time. The under 
side of the marking space can be used for 
extensive notes, or you can 
write on the shaft. 
These labels are de¬ 
signed so that the shaft 
may be entirely buried, 
with the marking space 
just above the surface on 
an angle for convenient 
reading. Thus they do 
not interfere with weeding 
and cultivating. 
If stepped on they do 
not break, but merely 
bend down and spring 
back when released. 
The PERFECT GARDEN LABEL is in¬ 
conspicuous. The beautiful cool gray green 
color blends with the soil, foliage and rocks. 
Only the marking space shows. If you wish 
the labels hidden they may be almost buried 
out of sight and lifted only for reading. The 
markings will be completely legible. A touch 
of the finger will clear away the soil from 
the smooth, clean, Duco-like surface. The 
only caution is not to rub too hard if the 
soil is quite wet. 
These labels are safe for fall planting. 
Frost does not easily heave them out of the 
ground on account of the corrugated shaft. 
If your borders flood in the spring they will 
not float away from the plants marked as 
they are heavier than water.
