SHANKS' NEW IMPROVED PATENT SMALL HAND MACHINE for 1862, for Pushing only.
Messrs. SHANKS have also brought out this season a new SMALL MACHINE, of the same graceful model as their other Hand Machine, which is specially intended to be used by Ladies or Gentlemen for recreation or amusement in the Flower Garden, and for Small Gardens where no regular Gardener is kept. This elegant and neat Machine has three great recommendations, viz. :-it is very cheap, very light, and very easily worked. Not the least difficulty or trouble need be anticipated in the management or working of this Machine, while the work executed is not only vastly superior to the Scythe, but a great deal sooner accomplished. No person having a Lawn, however small, should be without one of these useful Machines.

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.
