Lang's Hand Weeder--Is, in our opinion, the best weeder made. Its special advantage over all other weeders of this class is, that it has a band which passes over the fingers, which, when the tool is not in use, gives full use to the hand for pulling weeds and thinning out plants without laying down the tool. It is neatly and strongly made. Price, 25c; $2.60 per dozen, or postpaid, for 30c each.

Excelsior Weeding Hook--This instrument can be used to great advantage among small and tender plants. It is warranted to give entire satisfaction when used among rows of seedlings, among ornamental plants, or in any place where absolute freedom from weeds is desired. Price, 25c; $2.25 per dozen, or postpaid for 30c. each.
