THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE. [JANUARY 12, 1861. PATENT GRASS CUTTING, NOISELESS, DOUBLE-ACTION, SELF. SHARPENING, COLLECTING, AND ROLLING MACHINES FOR 1861. THOMAS GREEN, in respectfully returning thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public generally for the very liberal support he has received for some years past, informs them that he has, at all the principal Agricultural and Horticultural Shows in the Kingdom, proved the superiority of his Machines over all others, carrying off in all cases of competition every Prize that has been given, and highly commended by the Judges. T. G. this season offers for competition a Machine Invented and Patented by his son, WILLOUGHBY GREEN. Its unparalleled and unprecedented success, and manifest superiority over all others, has Induced him to undertake the sole manufacture of this truly valuable Machine, it being the acme of perfection.

PARVUM  MIRACULUM.  CHAIN FULL SIZE.  BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT,  CHAIN FULL SIZE.  dated JUNE 6, 1859.

In introducing this Machine to the public, respectfully informs them that his attention has been directed to the fact that many persons, having small plots of ground and fond of horticultural pursuits, are obliged to call in the aid of a gardener to perform a portion of the work required, when, for the sake of health and relaxation from business they would prefer doing it them- selves. The weight of the Parvum Miraculum is 56 lbs., and cuts 12 inches, and can be easily worked by a boy; even a lady can indulge in this healthful exercise.

The above Machine is worked with a Patent Cast-Steel Pinion Chain, in the making of which T. G. has spared neither time or expense in machinery for that purpose alone. These Chains have been fully tested by steam power, and are warranted to stand any reasonable amount of work without getting out of order. This Machine, being so light and easily worked, requires no drawing handles; the lovers are dispensed with for throwing in and out of gear. These alterations take from the weight, and very much simplify the Machine. The Cylinder has a Pinion on each end, and the Cutters being steeled on both sides, by reversing the Cylinder it becomes self-sharpening. In previous Hand Machines the Drums have been 14 inches; these are made to work with a 10-inch Drum, in proportion to the weight of the Machine. The Cutters are made the same strength as the larger Hand Machines, and will stand an equal amount of service. In small plots and undulating ground, small beds and narrow verges, one person can do more work than two with the large Hand Machine. The price of this Machine is 5., delivered (carriage paid) at all the principal Railway Stations in England.

The Patentee calls particular attention to an entirely New Machine as above on similar principles to his 12-inch PARVUM MIRACULUM, to cut 16 inches. This Machine is made from entirely New Models, the weight being reduced one-third, consequently being much easier to work. The weight is 84 lbs. in place of 126 lbs., the weight of the last year's 16-inch Machine. The Levers and Drawing Handles are dispensed with, the Drum reduced to 12 inches diameter, and very much simplified; as in the case of the 12-inch, having all the advantages of being self-sharpening, and can be worked effectually by one person on ground that is not much undulating. The Price is 6, delivered (carriage paid) at all the principal Railway Stations in England.

GREEN'S PATENT SILENS MESSOR. Double Action, Noiseless, Collecting, Rolling, and Lawn Mowing Machine for 1861.

CHAIN FULL SIZE.  LEEDS N 4868.  CHAIN FULL SIZE.

The Patentee introduces the SILENS MESSOR for 1861 to the Public with confidence, having had it entirely remodelled, being worked with a Patent Double-Action Cast Steel Pinion Chain (as above). These Machines are also Self-Sharpening. The Patentee has been at great expense in the perfecting of this machine, without extra charge. The Prices are as under:-

TO BE WORKED BY TWO PERSONS.

To Cut 14 inches.... 26 101 To Cut 16 Inches.. £7 01 To Cut 18 inches.... 7 101 To Cut 20 inches.... £8 01 To Cut 22 inches.... £8 10 1 To Cut 24 Inches.... £90

HORSE, PONY, AND DONKEY MACHINES.

The SILENS MESSOR has an extraordinary advantage over all others of this class; it is worked with a Patent Double Action Pinion Chain, and although much lighter, possesses greater strength. The noise has hitherto been a great obstacle in the working of these Machines; horses and ponies taking fright at the shaking and rattling noise, running away and doing inconceivable damage. This machine can be worked with any draught or carriage horse, however spirited, doing its work silently and effectually. It has greater facilities in quick turning than any other Machine now in use-can be readily raised or lowered to cut the Grass any height required.

GREEN'S PATENT DOUBLE SELF-ACTING GRASS DELIVERY BOX. The Patentee, in respectfully submitting the above to the Public, informs them that he has at length succeeded in offering to their notice a PERFECT IMPLEMENT. The Grass is collected in a small box, and by a simple contrivance, when full, transfers the contents to a larger one, which eventually deposits its burden in one large heap. Illustrated Price Lists on application.
