TOOL FOR CUTTING EDGINGS. 



No grass-plot, walk, or flower-bed, set in 

 turf, is complete, unless its edges are kept 

 neatly trimmed. The work may be done 

 with a sharpened spade,. but it is better to 

 use a regular edging-tool. An old hoe can 

 be taken to the blacksmith, who will 

 straighten out the shank, and round off 

 the corners of the blade with a file, and 

 the tool is an excellent sod-trimmer, and 

 very light to handle. For cutting sods, ^ 

 this makes much easier- work than the L 

 spade, though that is needed for lifting Fi s- 301 - 

 the turf when cut. Using a board as a guide, the cut- 

 ting will be rapidly done.
