Identify your plants the easy way. The over-sized name plate (1-1/4" x 3-1/2") allows plenty of room for notes and the black carbon pencil is "indelible". The stakes are 11-1/2" long so you can anchor them securely. The labels are made of brushed zinc, which will not rust, and you can erase by buffing gently with fine steel wool. Both labels and stakes will stand up to years of use in any weather. Each package contains 25 labels and stakes and one marking pencil.
