 Marrow Pea, about 2 to 2£ feet in height, of a sturdy branching habit ; it requires to be sown

THE GIANT PRIMER, 



The New and Latest Invention for Scientific Pruning 

 and Training on a large scale. 



The great success of the "Standard" Tree Pruner and the 

 "Myticuttah" has induced us to give our attention to the pro- 

 duction of a somewhat similar Implement, but of a much more 

 powerful construction. In the Giant Pruner you have a tool 

 capable of EASILY cutting a branch 7 inches in circumference, 

 with an exerting pressure of 1£ tons.

For Illustrated Price LISTS of above and other Novelties in 

 Pruning Tools, Fruit and Flower Gatherers, &c, apply to the Prin- 

 cipal Ironmongers and Seedsmen at home and abroad ; or of the 



The New and Ingenious Hand to Hand Truner 



"MYTICUTTAH" 



(Registered Trade Mark and Title). 

 Patented in Great Britain, France, and Germany. 



Hitherto, strictly correct Pruning could only be 

 done by holding the branch with one hand and 

 using a Knife with the other, but then only for 

 small branches, whereas the "Myticuttah" itself 

 holds the branch, cutting over an inch in diameter, 

 and in case of prickly bushes, &c, it saves the 

 bands from injury. Garden and Lopping Shears, 

 which hack and bruise the branch, are entirely 

 uperseded by this new Patent, and its many 

 ;es will at once commend it to the 

 practical Gardener or Forester.
