IMPROVED MOWING MACHINES  MANUFACTURED BY JAMES FERRABEE & CO.,

Phoenix Iron Works, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.

HORSE MACHINE-Half-inch Scale,

J. FERRABEE AND CO. and their predecessors have manufactured and sold between 5000 and 6000 of these Machines since they originally introduced them ; and they have from time to time made all the important improvements in their construction which now render them so efficient. The accompanying engraving represents the large Machines as made to be worked by a stout pony or a horse. They are made very strong and durable, and will cut the longest and coarsest Grass usually met with on lawns and pleasure grounds, executing their work in an expeditious and superior manner, producing a more even and uniform surface than the most skilful mower-they will follow the inequalities of the surface without cutting into the soil, and can be readily adjusted to cut various lengths. The Hand Machines are made on the same principle, and may be either pushed or pulled by unskilled labourers with equal facility on lawns, hedges, between flower beds, bowling greens, cricket and pleasure grounds. The Price List below includes the carriage to any Railway Station in England and Wales; and for a small additional sum they are sent carriage free to any Railway Station in Scotland or Ireland.

London Agency-Manager of the Agricultural Department, Baker Street Bazaar; and sold by all respectable Ironmongers and Seedsmen in the country.N.B. Every Machine bears the name J. FERRABEE & Co.
