  • BUDDING'S PATENT MOWING

    MACHINE.

    This Machine may be worked by persons who cannot use a Scythe. It may be adjusted to cut any length, and leaves a more even surface than can be produced by the most skilful mower. The Grass may be cut when dry, and may be collected in the box, which enables the gardener to cut his lawns at the most convenient time, and renders sweeping afterwards unnecessary, while with the same amount of labour more than double the quantity of work can be done than with a scythe. Various sizes are made both for manual and horse power, and the prices have this year been reduced to the lowest possible scale. There are now between 3000 and 4000 of these Machines in use.

    Manufactured and sold by JOHN FERRABEE and Sons, Phoenix Iron Works, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.

    GENERAL WHOLESALE AGENTS - Messrs. Ransomes and May, Ipswich.
