Pruning Shears 
For Making Cuttings for Propagation 
We offer shears that make CLEAN cuts 
because we think you want that kind. 
A sharp knife makes the CLEANEST, 
BEST cut, all “soft” wood cuttings are 
made with a sharp knife because there is 
no chance for a bruise, but cuttings from 
hard wood can be made with shears. If 
the shears bruise the bark or crush the 
wood the cuttings have a poor chance 
for life. The best shears make a cut ap- 
proaching a knife cut. 
This shear makes a clean cut. The 
spring is quick and positive but not 
strong enough to tire operator. We be- 
gan using this shear in 1890 and fre- 
quently have had a dozen pairs in use at 
one time, we thought of it as THE BEST. 
The one trouble, was, once in a while the 
spring would break and we could not 
find new springs nearer than France, but 
we now carry a stock of extra springs, 
price 20 cents each.
