SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THIS MACHINE.

First. It may be so adjusted as to leave the grass passed over by it of any regular length, at the pleasure of the operator.

Second. Where the lawn is not very extensive, all the grass cut off may be collected in the box D, rendering the sweeping afterward unnecessary.

Third. It leaves a more even and uniform surface than a scythe, and will cut grass which is too weak to stand against that instrument.

Fourth. It can be used best in dry weather, enabling the gardener to cut his lawns at the most convenient time, instead of being obliged, as with the scythe, to wait for rain or heavy dews.

Fifth. It is very durable, easily sharpened and kept in order; and the use of it furnishes a pleasant exercise in dry weather, at the same time that it produces a better effect than a skilful mower.

Printed directions for its management, which is extremely simple, are sent out with every machine.
