JAMES FERRABEE, 

FERRABEE'S PATENT NOISELESS LAWN MOWER.

Since the opening of the late International Exhibition, J. F. has succeeded in applying to his Lawn Mowers noiseless gearing of a most simple and durable character, and entirely devoid of the troublesome imperfections which belong to chains or wheels with wood teeth With this improvement,

his Machines are now unrivalled as thoroughly serviceable Lawn Mowers. They can be used at any time and in any situation-they produce on a lawn a beautifully even and uniform surface, free from marks-they have facilities for emptying the grass boxes in the readiest and most convenient manner-- they are strong, durable, and extremely easy to manage and keep in order.

FERRABEE'S HANDY LAWN MOWERS.

Under this head are included Machines of two sizes, marked M 1, and M 2. The smallest (M 1) is unique. It can be worked by a young boy, or a lady may use it as a means of pleasant exercise, and its price places it within reach of everybody. The largest (M 2) is an excellent Machine for one man, who with it can keep in good order a lawn of considerable size without inconveniently interfering with his other duties. Where a large Machine is kept, it would often be found useful to have a "Handy Lawn Mower," to cut verges or intricate places between flower beds and shrubs.

FERRABEE'S TWO-HAND LAWN MOWERS.

These are made of three sizes, marked respectively M 3, (for two strong boys); M 4, (for a man and a boy); and M 5, (for two men). The cylinders of them are of larger diameter than those of M 1, and M 2, above mentioned, and they are capable of cutting the longest and roughest grass usually found on lawns.

FERRABEE'S PONY LAWN MOWER,

This Machine (marked M 6) is of similar construction to the two-hand Machines, but cuts a greater width. Drawn by a small pony, or even a donkey, it is an admirable Machine for a large Lawn, and does its work well and expeditiously. It is furnished with the necessary draught irons for a pony.

FERRABEE'S HORSE LAWN MOWERS.

These are made of two sizes, marked M 7, and M 8. They are powerful Machines, very substantially constructed, and in every respect qualified for the work of the most extensive or irregular pleasure grounds. From the well-balanced arrangement of the driving rolls and other parts, the machines require little or no control when in motion, and can be turned without the least difficulty, They are supplied with draught irons, and the necessary tools.

When packing cases are used they are charged, but the full price is allowed if they are returned paid and in good condition.

Carriage paid to most of the principal Railway Stations in England.
