HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1927 



The Henderson Pruning Shears 



Durable — Efficient — Non- tiring 



The Henderson Pruning Shears 

 represent the most advanced prin- 

 ciples of shear construction, based 

 upon the actual needs — that call 

 for the daily use of pruning shears— 

 in our own nurseries. Most shears 

 are very tiring to the hand when used continuously for several hours. These 

 shears, duo to their nicely balanced proportions, can be used day after day 

 without the least discomfort to the user. 



The Henderson Shears are manufactured from the finest and best tempered 

 steel. The blade is detachable, and the rachet nut can be adjusted to keep 

 them properly tightened. It is built for hard usage, and will outlast any other 

 shears on the market. 9 in. ,$2.00. If bv mail add 15c. for packing and postage. 



LADIES' NICKEL-PLATED PRUNING SHEARS, $1.50. If by mad 

 add 15c. for packing and postage.

 instruments. These shears can be used both for trimming 

 hedges, and for cutting grass under fences, bushes, etc.
