Breakdown

A-Z tabs for seed records
Oxford Poly Index Card Guides add an alphabet structure to 4 x 6 seed cards. Each tab gives the file a visible break, so packets and cards can be grouped by crop name, variety name, seed source, or family garden notes.
That structure is useful when the seed shelf grows across several seasons. A gardener can open the file to the right letter, add a packet note, and return the card to its home.
Poly dividers handle repeated sorting
Seed records get handled during winter planning, spring sowing, summer succession planting, and fall cleanup. Poly guides suit that repeated movement because the tabs are made for frequent card-file use.
The assorted tab colors also make a card file easier to scan. A quick color break can help the eye find a section during a busy sowing day.
Pair with cards and a file
These guides need 4 x 6 cards and a holder. A gardener can pair them with Oxford 41 ruled cards and a 4 x 6 plastic card file for a compact seed record station.
The setup also works inside a photo keeper case when packet groups, envelopes, and cards are stored together.
