Claim 1

A lawn edging device for defining edges of lawns, gardens, flower beds, and the like consisting solely of a plurality of identically formed, elongated members, each of uniform crosssection throughout its entire length, having adjacent end portions interlockingly joined to each other, without additional connecting means, to provide a continuous barrier, a portion of which may be disposed below the surface of the ground with the remaining portion extending above the ground, each of said members being formed from a flexible, extractable material and comprising: a. a generally vertical body wall section having at the upper and lower ends thereof, integral, first and second, hollow flange sections extending outwardly therefrom on opposite sides thereof; b. each of said flange sections: i. being generally cylindrical; ii. presenting an internal channel; iii. being relatively flexible; c. the first flange section of each member being slightly larger than the second flange section to provide a self-contained, self-joined, interlocking connection in end-to-end relation with an adjacent similar member, the position of which has been inverted, so that a marginal portion of the second flange section of each member is snugly, telescopically received within a marginal portion of the first flange section of the other member and tHe body wall sections of the members are snugly positioned in abutting, face-to-face relation to provide a continuous wall like barrier.
