IMPROVED MOWING AND ROLLING MACHINE

PATRONISED BY HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA,

AND HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH

ALEXANDER SHANKS AND SON, Arbroath, Rolling Lawns, Bowling Greens, Verges, &c. is now so well known that little need be said regarding its merits. The Machine is exceedingly durable, and consequently not liable to get out of order; the execution of the work is vastly superior to Mowing with the scythe, while at the same time a saving of 70 per cent in labour is effected and the turf much improved. The New Hand Machine with patented improvements, after having undergone a trial of nearly two seasons, has fully firmed and established the opinion held out by the Patentees respecting it, viz., that it is the cheapest, most easily worked most efficient, and complete Machine extant.

Sold by Mr. GARROOD, Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and by almost all first-class Nurserymen and Implement sellers in the country. Illustrated Price Lists forwarded on application.
