Lawn Mowing Machine.

LONDON.

These Machines are of most easy management. They remove all the cut Grass and leave no seam on the Lawn-are provided with Wheels attached directly over the Cutter, by the adjustment of which the length of cut of the grass is regulated. As the Wheels in combination with the large Iron Roller, give a broad base to the Machine, it need only be pushed along before the operator, requiring no care whatever in handling. This substitution for the small Wood Roller used by Budding, also greatly reduces the friction. A Modification is also introduced into the Spiral Apparatus which effectually does away with the tendency the Cutters had to choke. The Wood Roller is now used only in mowing narrow borders; and at that time the Wheels are raised clear off the ground.
