Although you can buy ones that allow you to write your own information on them there are many that have readily printed information on them.
Type 3 - Watering Stakes - These kinds are covered up in the soil beside the plants roots and will then slowly discharge water to the plants roots through wicking. Apart from ensuring that a regular stream of water is supplied to the plants it also makes sure that as the plant grows that support is provided to the main part.
Type 4 - Ground Stakes - These are only small in size and will normally be used to help keep certain form of netting or cloth in position to shield the plants from either the sun or frost. Again these forms will often be made from either wood or metal.
