LOST LABELS 
Lost labels can be largely avoided by attaching them to one of the roots, instead 
of to the stalk. Stalks shrink in storage allowing the labels to slip off. 
The best, and most permanent marking for labels is India Waterproof ink, such as 
used by draftsmen. Use painted (or treated) labels, and apply the ink with an old 
fountain pen. With a little practice, one can do a very neat job, and the labels will 
be legible even after being buried in the ground for a season. 
INDELIBLE MARKING OF ROOTS 
Roots may be marked with an indelible pencil when labels are not practicable, or 
desirable. Wet and clean a portion of one of the more mature roots on the clump. 
Then wipe off any excess moisture with a dry cloth, and write the name of the variety 
on the root, applying no more pressure on the pencil than necessary for a clear marking. 
Marking two roots on each clump is a wise precaution.
