The right marker is 3½ in. long. The distance from head to central point of notch is ½ in. The distance between notches, or from the central point of one notch across the marker to the central point of the other, is ⅜ in. The width is ½ in. and the thickness ⅛ in.

The middle marker is 4½ in. long, ½ in. wide, and 1-1/16 in. thick. Allow about ⅝ in. for the pointing at the end.

The left marker is rather larger and stronger; it, too, may be pointed and not notched, so acting as a good pot-marker. Make it 5 ins. long, ⅞ in. wide, and 3/15 in. thick. The line between the notches measures ⅝ in. and is 1 in. from the top of the marker.

Such labels as these, made of thin wood, serve as plant labels as well as being useful in the outdoor garden.
