TESTIMONIALS IN FAVOUR OF SHANKS NEW HORSE MACHINE.

From Mr. T. HARLEY, Gardener to THOMAS CHAMBERLYNE, Esq., Cranberry Park, near Winchester. "I am happy to be able to add my testimony to the high merits of the Shanks' 30-inch New Horse Lawn Mowing Machine which you sent me. I have put it to work in its witnessed "The Gardens, Cranberry Park, July 5, 189, and uneven ground, which had only been once mown this year with a scythe. It surpassed all my expectations, as it likewise did my employer and other gentlemen who never bee looked half so well as it did then. I'am quite sure that I shall be able to pay the expense of the Machine this year in the labour saved from the use of the Scythe, and not only a When taken on the Lawn, where it had a better chance of showing its power, nothing could possibly excel it; after cutting, and the Grass being removed, the Lawn host, b leaves the turf in such fine condition. My opinion is that no one should be without Shanks Machine, as I believe it to be without exception the best I ever saw worked. "The apparatus delivering the Grass is the most complete thing invented in any Mowing Machine inventions,"

The success of your improved Grass Cutting Machine which we got the other day-especially the delivering part is a mechanical triumph. Having cut all our Grass wire it. The From Mr. ALEXR. SHEARER, Gardener to the MARQUIS of TWEEDDALE, Yester Garden, May 13, 1859. that it acts far beyond my expectation, and it performs all you say in your prospectus. We can now go on the whole day without stopping, except to oil the parts that require The are quite in love with it; a good proof of its utility."

From Mr. JAMES MACKIE, Gardener to His Grace the DUKE of ATHOLL, The Gardens, Dunkeld, May 18, 1859. "After repeated trials with our Grass Cutting Machine, as now fitted up with your Delivering Apparatus, I have much pleasure in saying that I now consider your Machis Guar We can now do as much work in six hours as we used to do in ten hours, with the old plan of stopping to empty the Grass Box, and with far greater ease both to man and horse. His Grace well pleased with the working of the Apparatus, and the saving of time effected by it, that he has ordered the Machine from Blair Castle to be sent through to be fitted up in the away as the one here."
