Verge-Cutter
Another name for an edgingiron, a tool which is employed for cutting grass verges by the side of walks, flower-beds, &c., also for cutting out new beds in turf. The simple form with crescent-shaped blade is the best, as it may be guided by the hand to cut in whatever direction is desired. It is unnecessary, as a rule, to use a Vergecutter for the edges of walks more than once a year--spring is the best season-the shears being sufficient for the rest of the year. By the continued use of an edgingiron on both sides of a walk, the latter very soon becomes considerably widened.
