Besides numbers of other well known and distinguished 'persons both in this country and abroad.
NO PERSON HAVING A LAWN SHOULD BE WITHOUT A MOWING MACHINE.
1st, Because it economises labour. A man will mow as much in three hours with a Machine as he will do in ten hours with a Scythe.
24, Because the Machine does the work not only more expeditiously, but cleaner and better.
3d, Because the close cutting and simultaneous rolling of the Machine improves the appearance of the turf, and this cannot be done with the Scythe. 4th, Because the Grass may be eat at any time with the Machine, whereas to mow with the Scythe it is necessary to wait for wel or dewy mornings
5th, Beesuse nothing looks better than a well-kept Lawn; and as it is very difficult to keep the Grass down in early spring in mall Gardens, where no regular Gardener is kept, the best of reasons is obtained why a Machine should be used. lat, Because you are relleved from the annoyance of waiting, and of being oftes disappointed, by the Gardener finding it impossible to come at the appointed time. 24, Because with the mall Machine any Lady or Gentleman may keep the Lawa in order, and at the same time find pleasant and healthful amusement in doing so.
The first practical Gardeners of the day, who have devoted their attention in examining all the different Lawn Mowers offered, do not hesitate in recommending Shanks Machine as the best Mower for general use. There is nothing in this Machine which is not of real practical worth; and this important consideration is apparently set aside by most Makers, whose struggles seem to be more for what is novel and attractive than for sterling merit.
The Important Improvements introduced into the Shanks' Patent Lawn Mower last season have undergone a thorough practical test, and satisfied the mast sanguine expectations. The Machine gained the only First Class Medal offered last season, and the highest recommendations wherever exhibited. The Impres having far more of real worth than mere novelly, have been much appreciated by the practical Gardener. Still further improvements have been introduced into the Machine this season, the effect of which will still farther establish the high character it has already gained as the most complete, the cheapest, and most durable Lava Mowing Machine extant. The style in which the work is execated cannot be surpassed-being very much neater than the scythe, while at half the expense-and it is quite inmaterial whether the Laws be level or otherwise, or whether the Grass be wet or dry.
The Silent Movement has just been most successfully introduced into the Machines this season, whereby the noise occasioned by the working of the wheels entirely obviated. The Cogs of the Wheels are not composed of the old-fashioned and faulty Pin system, which may lesson noise to some extent; they are made in the ordinary way, with ample bearing on each other, but so constructed and composed of Patent Material as to be quite silent in working. The cost of introducing the Silent Movement into the Hand Machine is 74. 6d.; Pony and Donkey Machine, 158.; Horse Machine, 25, extra to price of the Machine as per Price List under.
