THE BEST NURSERY SPADE 
D Handle, Double Strap, Reinforced Nursery Spade. Weight, 9'/ lbs. 
We have experimented with a number of different makes of nursery 
spades, but find this lo 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, strength¬ 
ening it in what otherwise would be its weakest parts. When ordering 
state if straight or taper blade is wanted. Price, 31.75 each; $ 20.00 per doz.
