ALEXANDER SHANKS AND SON are gratified to find that the Improvements introduced into their PATENT LAWN MOWERS last season have been so introduced further Improvements into their already celebrated Lawn Mowers, which are fully described in their Illustrated Price Lists, which will be at once forwarded on application.

SHANKS' PATENT LAWN MOWERS are in daily use in the ROYAL GARDENS at KEW, WINDSOR, BUCKINGHAM PALACE, HAMPTON COURT, OSBORNE, and BALMORAL; in the GARDENS of the ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY at KENSINGTON; in the GROUNDS of the CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY at SYDENHAM; and in many hundreds of the principal Gardens in the Kingdom, as well as Abroad, where their merits have been fully proved, and their success established. These Machines will Mow EQUALLY WELL on UNEVEN as on LEVEL LAWNs, and whether the Grass be war or DRY. The execution of the work is not only vastly superior to Mowing with the Scythe, but the constant action of the Rollers on the Turf in a very short time greatly improves its appearance.

The Machines are warranted to give ample satisfaction, and if not approved of they may be at once returned. ALEXANDER SHANKS AND SON, DENS IRON WORKS, ARBROATH, N. B. LONDON OFFICE AND SHOW ROOMS: 27, LEADENHALL STREET, E.C.
