FRAGEY PRUNING SHEARS 
We have a limited supply of these fine imported pruning shears: highly satis- 
factory for dividing dahlia clumps. Sturdily made of high grade tool steel, we have 
found them very durable, as well as the most satisfactory dividing shears we have ever 
used. Two sharp cutting blades, in contrast to the usual one of domestic shears, 
eliminates bruising of tissues adjacent to the cut. Blades are properly shaped to pre- 
vent slipping. Much faster and easier to use than knives, and can cut nearly as close 
as knives. Ideal for all pruning purposes. Price $5.50 post paid while present supply 
lasts. Sold with a money back guarantee if not fully satisfied after seeing them.
