The first practical Gardeners of the day, who have devoted their attention to examining all the different Lawn Mowers offered, do not hesitate in recommending Shanks' Machine sa the best Mower for general use. There is nothing in this Machine which is not of real practical worth; and this important consideration is apparently set aside by most makers, whose struggles seem to be more for what is novel and attractive than for sterling merit. The important Improvements introduced into the Shanks' Patent Lawn Mower last season have undergone a thorough practical test, and satisfied the most sanguine expectations. Still further improvements have been introduced into the Machine this season, the effect of which still further establishes the high character it has already gained as the most complete, the cheapest, and most durable Lawn Mowing Machine. The style in which the work is executed cannot be surpassed-being very much neater than the Scythe, while at half the expense-and it is quite immaterial whether the Laws be level or otherwise, or whether the Grass be wet or dry.
