KANSAS PRUNING 
KNIFE IMPROVED 
The Kansas Pruning Knife has revolutionized Tree pruning. 
Instead of being a hard and laborious task it is made a pleasant 
pastime on account of the ease and speed with which it can be 
done. 
On heavy limbs, or in cutting any limb close to the body of the 
tree, the knife works automatically — no levers to operate by 
hand — just put the hook over the limb and give a quick straight 
pull on the handle, as shown in cut 1, and off comes the limb. 
For cutting small outer or swinging branches, attach a cord 
to the ring in the sleeve, put the hook over the branch to be cut 
and pull on the cord, as shown in cut 2. 
The work that this knife will do is wonderful. Five or six 
trees can be trimmed with it while one is being done with other 
knives. It will pay for itself every two or three days in use for 
the saving of time. It will cut any limb from the size of a match 
to one and one-quarter inch in diameter. Any length handle 
can be used, giving one the advantage of standing on the ground 
to do the work and doing it properly. No climbing, no standing 
or no hanging to limbs to work and make mistakes where one 
can't tell what to take out or what to leave. 
Thousands in use that are giving the best of satisfaction. The 
Kansas Pruning Knife needs no special recommendation, by its 
work it speaks for itself and proves its great value. Price, S3. 50.

ORCHARD KING 
PRUNING KNIFE 
This two-hand pruning shear readily cuts a live tree branch two inches thick. 
A roller bearing makes it work easily and prevents wear. 
Notice the compound leverage, and notice too the slot in the blade at the pivot bolt. These exclusive features cause a 
powerful extra long drawing cut, so that the limbs are not bruised nor crushed, but sheared off clean. Hence the wounds heal 
quickly and without decay. 
Notice too how compact the knife is. Thus it can be worked where limbs are very close together, removing one without 
injury to the others. Price, S3. 00. 
HAPPY THOUGHT AND DETROIT 
PRUNING KNIVES 
Both these knives have a pump gun action, which is very 
effective for setting back, budding, shaping and trimming. For 
light or medium work, they are favorites because they permit the 
operator to stand on the ground. The Happy Thought knife, 
the one with the straddle fork end, will cut limbs up to three- 
quarters of an inch in diameter; the Detroit, with the hooked end, 
up to one inch. 
The material is of best quality. The blades are of high carbon 
crucible steel, tempered in lead and drawn in oil — the most 
approved and most modern method. The handles are of prime 
selected hard maple stock. 
These knives are made in six lengths — six, eight, ten, twelve, 
fourteen and sixteen foot. 
Happy Thought and Detroit Pruning Knives, 6 Foot, SI .50; 
8 Foot, $1.75; 10 Foot, $2.00; 12 Foot, $2.50; 14 Foot, $2.75;
