GREEN'S LATEST IMPROVED PATENT NOISELESS LAWN MOWING, ROLLING, and COLLECTING MACHINES

FOR THE PRESENT SEASON 1863, FOR WHICH HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT HAVE BEEN OBTAINED. THE FIRST PRIZE MEDAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION WAS AWARDED TO THOMAS GREEN FOR HIS PATENT LAWN MOWERS.

These were the only Machines highly Commended at the Royal Horticultural Society's Great Shows held at South Kensington, May 21, June 11, and July 2, 1862. (No Prizes were given).

PATRONISED BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING THE SEASON OF 1862.

THOMAS GREEN AND SON, in introducing their PATENT LAWN MOWERS for the present season, have much pleasure in stating that the important Improvements which were added to their Machines for last season (which combined simplicity of construction, durability, and lightness of draught), have proved them to be superior to anything of the kind ever brought before the Public, inasmuch as they have given entire satisfaction wherever used, and have gained the largest sale of any Machines extant. They have carried off every Prize that has been given in all cases of competition.

GREEN'S PATENT LAWN MOWERS are the only Machines in constant use at the ROYAL GARDENS, WINDSOR; the ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, SOUTH KENSINGTON; the BOTANICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK; the CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY'S GARDENS, SYDENHAM; the KENSINGTON PALACE GARDENS; the HYDE PARK GARDENS, and in most of the principal Parks, Squares, &c., of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry throughout the Kingdom.

The Horse and Pony Machines have been entirely remodelled for the present season on the same principles as the Hand Machines, which have given such universal antisfaction. All Hand, Donkey, and Pony Machines have the Patent Self-Cleaning Self-Sharpening arrangements, and require no Box of Requisites. The above Machines 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 satlafaction, and if not approved of can be at once returned, if sent Carriage Free to Leeds.

T. GREEN AND SON in introducing the above are well aware that the extremely simple character of this Implement cannot admit of any very radical change, yet they are confident that the Improvement just effected (and secured by Letters Patent) is a real one, and is strikingly apparent when compared with any other Garden Roller. In previous Rollers a limit was always set to weight in consequence of marks being left on the gravel, and the power required to work them, but the present one is nearly double the ordinary weight, yet is considerably easier to turn in consequence of the Roller being divided in two parts, and the outer edges being 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 certainty of producing a beautifully even surface, either on Lawes or Gravel Paths, and for the Bowling Green and Cricket Field are really indispensable. They are manufactured of the best materials, and got up in a manner surpassing any ever yet brought out.
