<QUESTION-- Has anyone tried the labels like the ones in Denver--made on a
'Brother' machine??? How did they survivethe winter??? Any suggestions for
labels which are:
Readable when standing in front of the rhizome and not having to bend
over--
Big enough to write name, Hybridizer name,variety, date of intro--
Will last through the summer sun and be readable the next year--
Will not peel off the metal tags during the winter-->
Carryl, we have used the Brother P-Touch label maker for a number of years.
We use both the smaller and the rose marker size zinc labels. The printed
labels themselves hold up beautifully -- no fading, peeling, etc. They will
outlast the markers. My main gripes about the zinc markers are their
appearance in the wintertime (looks like all the beds are plant cemeteries)
and the fact that they heave with all our freezes and thaws. Also, our ever-
growing deer herd can mangle them when they go tromping through. All in all,
though, they are much more permanent than anything else we have used. One
other thing, those rose markers bite! I have scars from not being cautious
enough when weeding around them.
