BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
SHANKS' NEW PATENT MOWING, ROLLING, COLLECTING, AND DELIVERING MACHINE.
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS for 1860 peculiar to SHANKS' PATENT LAWN MOWER
HORSE-POWER MACHINE.
Among the valuable improvements for this season in their now celebrated and well-established Lawn Mowing Machines may be mentioned-
1st. The Shafts or Handles of all the different sizes of Machines are made of Malleable instead of Cast Iron, and are much neater, not nearly so liable to break, and a great deal lighter than the usual Cast Iron ones.
2d. The Reduction of Weight by the substitution of Malleable for Cast Iron to as great an extent as possible on the whole Machine, makes it stronger and more fit for the rough usage it may at times receive in working from the labourer or gardener not skilled in Machinery.
3d. The Draught is greatly lessoned by the reduced weight and loss friction on the journals. The Mashing is at least one-half more easily worked than formerly.
4th. The Cutter, by a simple contrivance, is prevented from breaking, although it may come into contact with a stone or other hard substance In Mowing
5th. The annoyance which is often given by the bearings of the Cutter getting loose, and the latter wearing down ca the Plate, causing much stiles and friction in working, is also completely obviated.
6th the Wheels are also secured from injury in precisely the same manner the C
7th. The Patent Delivering Apparatus is attached to all the Horse, Pony, or Donkey Machines, and effects saving in the work executed over all other Lawn Mowers of 35 per cent and a saving in trouble to the man in working the Machine of 75 per cent.
This Apparatus may also be attached to the Hand Machine is required.
8th. Everything in the shape of novelty not Improvement is carefully excluded from the Machine, which is now us nearly perfect as is possible for any Lawn Mower to be for practical use. The simplicity and strength of construction, the ease with which the Machine can now be worked, and its advantage over all other Lawn Mowers in the additional operation of Delivering the Grass without stopping the Machine, make it peculiarly fit for all the purposes of Mowing, whether for Verges, the Flower Gardens, or the open Lawn. The style in the work is executed cannot be surpassed; and it is quite immaterial whether the Lawn be level or otherwise, or whether the Grass be wet or dry.

TESTIMONIAL from Mr. GEORGE EYLES, late Chief Superintendent of the Grounds and entire Horticultural Department of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and now appointed to the Superintendence of the Horticultural Society's New Gardens, Kensington Gore, and the Gardens, Chiswick, in favour of Shanks Patent Lawn Mowers - (the 30-inch Horse-power Machine used on the Lawns of the Crystal Palace):
"Crystal Palace, Dec. 20, 1859, "I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the excellence of the 30-inch Shanks Patent Lawn Mowing Machine you sent us. We have had it in use almost daily up to the end of the mowing season, and it has always performed its work in the most satisfactory manner and has never been once out of repair. The contrivance for emptying the Grass Box is a great acquisition, and effects a considerable saving of time."
