GREEN'S
LATEST IMPROVEMENTS IN
LAWN MOWING, ROLLING, and COLLECTING MACHINES
FOR THE PRESENT SEASON 1862,
FOR WIUCH HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.
THOMAS GREEN can with confidence state that he has succeeded in bringing forward for the ensuing season a Machine which is so novel in its character that any person, however unskilled, is enabled to use it with confidence and ease; and by its thoroughly mechanical construction is pronounced by practical men to be the ne plus ultra of perfection. Every improvement that has suggested itself from past experience has been put to practical test, and the results are that the Machines for which Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent have recently been obtained are immeasurably superior to anything of the kind ever brought before the Public. They combine all that efficiency and simplicity can express, and are calculated to keep Lawns in the highest state of perfection, which cannot be equalled by any other means. They are adapted both in site and price to the very smallest plots, as well Lawns acres in extent. Since their introduction the sale of these Machines has more than doubled each succeeding year, and has now attained the largest sale of any Machine "extant;" have proved to be the best, having carried off every Prize that has been given in all cases of competition. They are made from the best materials, and of superior workmanship; are delivered Carriage Free to all the principal Railway Stations and Shipping Ports in England; are warranted to give satisfaction, and if not approved can be at once returned, if sent carriage free to Leeds.

GREEN'S IMPROVED NEW PATENT GARDEN ROLLERS.
Diameter 20 inches, length, 22 inches....Price £3 5s.
Diameter 16 inches, length, 17 inches....Price £2 10s.
Diameter 24 inches, length, 26 inches....Price £4 5s.
T. GREEN in introducing the above is well aware that the extremely simple character of this Implement cannot admit of any very radical change, yet he is confident that the Improvement just effected (and secured by Let.. Patent) is a real one, and is strikingly apparent when compared with any other Garden Roller yet brought out. They are made in two parts and are free to revolve on the axis, affording greater facility tor turning, and the outer edges are rounded off or turned inwards, thus avoiding the unsightly marks left by all others hitherto in use. They can be used by the most unskilful with the greatest certain of producing a beautifully even surface, either on Lawns or Gravel Paths, and for the Bowling Green or Cricket Field are really indispensable. They are manufactured of the best materials, and got up in a manner surpassing any ever yet brought out.
