    PATRONISED BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS

    DURING THE SEASON OF 1862.

    THOMAS GREEN AND SON, in introducing their PATENT LAWN MOWERS for the present season, have much pleasure in stating that the important Improve ments which were added to their Machines for last season (which combined simplicity of construction, durability, and lightness of draught), have proved them to be superior to anything of the kind ever brought before the Public, inasmuch as they have given entire satisfaction wherever used, and have gained the largest sale of any Machines extant. They have carried off every Prize that has been given in all cases of competition.

    T. GREEN AND SON in introducing the above are well aware that the extremely simple character of this Implement cannot admit of any very radical change, they are confident that the Improvement just effected (and secured by Letters Patent) is a real one, and is strikingly apparent when compared with any other G Roller. In previous Rollers a limit was always set to weight in consequence of marks being left on the gravel, and the power required to work them, but the p one is nearly double the ordinary weight, yet is considerably easier to turn in consequence of the Holler being divided in two parts, and the outer edges being rounded off or turned inwards, thus avoiding the unsightly marks left by all others hitherto in use. They can be used by the most unskilful with the greatest certainly of producing a beautifully even surface, either on Lawns or Gravel Paths, and for the Bowling Green and Cricket Field are really indispensable. They are manufactured of the best materials, and got up in a manner surpassing any ever yet brought out.
