Saws
Instruments in frequent demand for various purposes in gardens. An ordinary Saw, with the teeth set rather wide, answers well for sawing wood, cutting down trees, &c. In addition, a cross-cut Saw should be at command, as it is occasionally necessary to cut down branches or trees that are too large for severing without an instrument of this description. Pruning Saws, for removing branches or spurs in ordinary pruning, are invaluable for their purpose; they are small, and carried to a point, something like those used for turning or cutting circular holes in boards. It is most important that Saws of every kind should be kept clean and in a dry place, when not in use. It is a good plan to rub a little sweet oil over the blades, in order to prevent them from rusting.
