Re: Lables
Mary; I find the only reliable method is mapping the iris garden. I will
add tho that at present we also use the Brothers Label Machine which is a
little costly at first but considering the labels last ( ours are going into
2 year through all types of weather ) and we didn't have to relabel or
remark 2 or 3 times a year it is well worth it. Bill
