PATENT LAWN-MOWING MACHINES,

AT

GREATLY REDUCED PRICES.

THE above unique and valuable adjunct to the Pleasure Ground and Garden of the Nobleman or Gentleman, has now stood the test of twenty years' experience, and continues in as high repute as ever. R. & S. have sold upwards of fifteen hundred, which have given universal satisfaction; and it is still in good demand. It is so easy to manage, that persons unpractised in the art of mowing may cut the Grass on Lawns or Pleasure Grounds with ease. It is easily adjusted to out to any length, and the beauty of its operation is, that it leaves no seam, nor any of the cut grass upon the Lawn. Other advantages of this Machine are, that the grass may be cut when dry, and, consequently, it may be used at such hours as are most convenient to the Gardener or Workman; while the expense of mowing is considerably lessened, as more than double the work may be done with the same manual labour that is requisite with the Scythe.
