‘TWIST -EMS’ 
HOME GARDEN 
Twist-Ems save the tedious 
work of tying plants with 
twine or raffia. Simply put 
around the stem and support, 
twist, and the plant is se- 
curely fastened. The wire 
running through the center 
of the tape makes them un- 
breakable while the tape pro- 
tects the stem against injury. 
Their deep green color blends 
with the foliage and makes 
them altogether inconspic- 
uous. Twist-Ems are the 
most convenient and easiest 
way to support all kinds of plants in a quick and 
unobtrusive manner.
