HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1928 



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 eall 

 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, due 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 raehet 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. Transportation paid. 



LADIES' NICKEL-PLATED PRUNING SHEARS, $1.50. Transpor- 

 tation paid.

Heimerdinger 



Grass 



Shears 



We are offering this distinct type of grass shear, because it eliminates the 

 many objections of the old style spring shear. 



The handles arc designed to fit the hand, thus preventing the usual tiring 

 effects caused by ordinary patterns. It is provided with a latch so that it 

 may be closed when not in use. It cannot spring apart, and it is so sub- 

 stantially built that it will not get out of set through hard usage. 



The hardened steel blades are finely tempered and semi-polished. The 

 shear is equipped with a tempered coil spring and a heavy adjustable cap 

 screw with spring tension washer. 



Very useful for trimming the edges and borders of 

 lawns, flower beds. etc. Entire length of shear 12 

 inches, blades 6 inches. Price, $1.35. Transportation 

 paid.
