The most durable and convenient labels
for trees is n strip of rough zinc. II Or
binary smooth zinc has to be used it should
be immersed in diluted muriatic acid for q
few minutes, to roughen the surface. Or
binary pencil writing will last for many
years on such labels; they may be fastened
with copper wire, or If the strips are cut
long enough, their ends may he twisted
around small limbs.
There is nothing moro discouraging, after
having planted collection of fruits, than to
find ben they come into bearing that the
labels have become detached and every trace
Of them lost. The wise thing to do, there
fore, IS to examine every newly planted tree
before winter storms have blown OF the Ia
Lels, aad fasten them securely. And still
Tic wiser thing after that is to make IN ac-
curate map of the orchard, no matter how
rough, indicating the exact position and
name of every tree, SO that It may be
identi ed at a glance, independent OF labels.
