SHANKS' NEW NEW PATENT
LAWN MOWING, ROLLING, COLLECTING, and DELIVERING MACHINE for 1862,
WITH SILENT MOTION IF SPECIALLY DESIRED.
J. B. BROWN AND CO. in introducing Shanks' NEW PATENT LAWN MOWERS for this season, do so with that confidence in their merits and superiority which the eminently successful result of the long and continued efforts of the Patentees to improve fully entitle them to have. The effect of the improvements of previous years have been so much appreciated by the practical Gardener that a very large and steady increase in the number of Machines sold has every year taken place, every one of which, so far as known, has given the greatest satisfaction. Further important improvements have been introduced into the Machines for this season.

The first practical Gardeners of the day, who have devoted their attention in examining all the different Lawn Mowers, do not hesitate in recommending Shanks Machine as the best Mower for general use. There is nothing in the Machine which is not of real practical worth.
Shanks' Patent Mowing and Rolling Machine is in successful operation in Her Majesty's Royal Gardens at Kew, Windsor, Buckingham Palace, Hampton Court, Osborne, and Balmoral; in the Gardens of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, His Excellency the Belgian Minister, The Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, His Grace the Duke of Bedford, His Grace the Duke of Sutherland, His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and most of the principal Nobility and Gentry in the kingdom. The celebrated machines are also in operation in many of the Botanic, and in many hundreds of other gardens in the kingdom, as well as in almost every Country throughout the World, where their merits have been fully proved, and their success established.
The Machines are warranted to give ample satisfaction, and if not approved of they may be at once returned.
