W. P. STANLEY manufactures LAWN MOWING MACHINES of similar construction, to be worked by one man.

The Improved Lawn-Mowing Machine manufactured by W. P. STANLEY is most easy of management. It removes all the cut grass; and leaves no seam on the lawn.

STANLEY'S Lawn-Mower is provided with wheels, attached directly over the cutters; by the adjustment of which the length of cut of the grass is regulated. As these wheels, in combination with the large iron roller, give a broad base to the machine, it need only be pushed along before the operator, requiring no are whatever in handling. This substitution for the small wood Roller formerly used greatly reduces friction. A modification s also introduced into the spiral apparatus, which effectually does away with the tendency the cutters had to choke. The wood Roller is now used only in mowing narrow borders; and at that time the wheels are raised clear of the ground.
