  • JULY 25, 1863.   THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE.

    GREEN'S LATEST IMPROVED PATENT  NOISELESS LAWN MOWING, ROLLING, and COLLECTING MACHINES

    FOR THE PRESENT SEASON 1863.

    GREEN'S NEW PATENT LAWN MOWER.    GREEN'S NEW PATENT GARDEN ROLLER.

    THE FIRST PRIZE MEDAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION WAS AWARDED TO THOS. GREEN FOR HIS PATENT LAWN MOWERS, PATRONISED BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS

    DURING THE SEASON OF 1862, AND DURING THE PRESENT SEASON 1863.

    GREEN'S PATENT LAWN MOWERS have carried off every Prize that has been given in all cases of competition, and were the only Machines Highly Commended at the Royal Horticultural Society's Great Shows held at South Kensington, May 21, June 11, and July 2, 1862. (No Prizes were given.) They are the only Machines in constant use at the ROYAL GARDENS, WINDSOR; the ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, SOUTH KENSINGTON; the BOTANICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK; the CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY'S GARDENS, SYDENHAM; the KENSINGTON PALACE GARDENS; the HYDE PARK GARDENS, and in most of the principal Parks, Squares, &c., of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry throughout the Kingdom. The Patentees after the long experience they have had in the MANUFACTURE of LAWN MOWERS, have come to the conclusion that three things are essential to constitute a real and efficient Implement, namely, Simplicity of Construction, Durability, and General Practicability, and they are glad to be able to state that they have combined the three, and that their Machines are unequalled not merely by giving satisfaction for one or two seasons, but by their long durability.

    Upwards of 14,000 of the above Machines have been sold since the year 1856, and thousands of letters have been received by the Patentees testifying to their efficiency. They do not deem it necessary to publish more than the two following:-

    TESTIMONIALS.   "Royal Horticultural Society, South Kensington, W., Feb. 28, 1863. "DEAR SIR-Your Mowing Machines, which have been in constant use here for two seasons, have answered well. They do their work efficiently, and with a less amount of manual labour than any other Machines I have tried, "Yours truly, GEO. EXLES."

    "Royal Gardens, Windsor, March 27, 1863. 

    "DEAR SIR, The Hand Mowing Machines you supplied last season for the use of the Royal Gardens, Windsor, give great satisfaction.             "To Mr. Green."              "Yours very truly, THOMAS INGRAM."
