Hoe, rounded blade used by Liberty Hyde Bailey, Sr.
"Six foot one he stood, and yet he scarcely stooped; with his right hand he grasped the handle near its end and always in the same way, with his thumb length-wise on the wood, the four fingers clasped underneath, and the end of the stock not projecting from the back of the hand. Four inches from the end a hollow has been worn by the ball of the thumb, and underneath are furrows where the fingers grasped." -"My Father's Hoe", from The Harvest, L. H. BaileyLexicon
