Garden Implements. 
In the selection of implements, those of the best quality- 
should be sought, and nothing purcbnsed merely because it 
can be bought for a low price. The cheapest is the best, the 
most durable, and best calculated to accomplish the desired end. 
The materials of which they are constructed are chiefly wood, 
iron, and steel. The parts composed of the latter materials 
should be wiped clean and bright immediately after using, and 
should never be suffered to rust. The handles or other parts 
of wood should be oiled at least once a year, and every tool 
should be housed when not in use, and 'kept in its proper 
place. 
The implements usually employed in conducting a garden 
on a moderate scale are as follows, and may be purchased at 
the agricultural warehouses in all large cities and populous 
towns : —
