indie, Double Strao, Reinforced 
Y Nursery Spade. Weight, 9W lbs. 
We have experimented with a number of different makes of nursery spades, but find this to be the 
strongest, best and most durable on the market. We have been using this spade for a number of years 
and it will stand more hard work than any other make. It is strapped full length of handle both back 
and front, and half way up it has double straps, strengthening it in what otherwise would be its weakest 
parts. When ordering state if straight or taper blade is wanted. 
Price, $1.75 each ; $20.00 per dozen.
