For you who hybridize here's a cheap way to make a hanging tag that last year after year. You need a mini blind, cut to 2.50", a hold punch, and a box of small paper clips. I write the pollen parent on the tag with a #2 pencil. If I want to use that same tag later for another pollen I just draw a line thru the first one and write the new one below the old. Yoy can use both sides so you can use it many times. I use these if I am only going to use a certain pollen only a few times,or when I hybridize in the seedling beds, the tags are much easier to see than the colored paper clips I use in the hybridizing area.I would guess they cost less than a penny a piece and they are a lot better than the paper tags.
