Reply To: Help with identifying Brass Machinery Tag

The idea of guaranteeing outcomes with plants is a modern one created by retailers in recent years and I fully agree that suppliers would not have guaranteed outcomes in the period from which this tag originates.

The guarantee being referred to here is purely about being true to type – i.e. of the variety being advertised in the catalogue.

On another note, the off centre hole is deliberate to ensure that the tag always hangs the right way up because it is hung via twine rather than being rigidly attached to the plant.
