Extract from London Times of June 8, and Gardeners' Chronicle of June 12, 1558.

"TRIAL OF MOWING MACHINE-A considerable number of various sizes having been brought to the ground it was agreed that the trial should take place between One Hand Machine of each exhibitor, as nearly as possible of uniform size and worked by themselves, or their men. The ground to be worked was determined by lot, the pieces having been previously selected of as uniform quality as possible. After trials on level ground and round trees, the Judges, Colonel Challoner and Mr. Edward Easton, declared GREEN'S Patent to be the best. (Signed) "C. B. CHALLONER, EDWARD EATON, Judges." TO GREEN respectfully Informs the Nobility, Gentry, Gardeners, Amateurs, and others, that upwards of Six Hundred of these Machines were sold in 1857, and to show the increasing demand, above Nine Hundred were sold last season they have proven to be the best in all cases of competition, are entirely remodelled, and all the little defects pointed out by the Judges last Year, are now rectified. The Patentees now considers the Machines as near perfection as possible. Although the Machines have been so much improved, at a a great additional or cost, extra charge will be made, excepting for a nest Guard, which is placed over the wheels to keep them clean, and to prevent breakage or accidents, which will be 5s. extra to parties requiring them The Machines are warranted to give satisfaction, or may be at once returned by the party paying the carriage back to Leeds. The Patentee has spared neither time nor expense in producing the best and cheapest Mowing, Collecting, and Rolling Machines ever brought before the public. Hundreds of Testimonials (unsolicited) may be seen, and references given with regard to the superiority of the machines, by applying to the Patentees,
