Spade
In gardening, a spade is a hand tool used to break up clumps in the soil. It is often considered a type of shovel. It is often made of a wooden handle with a metal scoop or blade.
In game playing, a spade is one of a set of 13 cards (a card suit) in a deck of English playing cards. It is shaped like an inverted black heart with a small stem, deriving its name from the shape of the head of a garden spade. See spades.
The other 3 card suit are hearts, clubs and diamonds.
