    BUDDING'S PATENT GRASS MOWING MACHINE, 
    SOLD BY APPPOINTMENT BY
    J. R. & A. RANSOME.

    This Machine is for cutting grass on lawns, pleasure-grounds, and bowling greens; and is so easy to manage, that persons unpractised In the art of mowing, may In a short time use it with ease. It is readily adjusted to any length, and the beauty of its operation is, that it leaves no seam, nor any of the cut grass upon the lawn. Other advantages of this machine are, that the grass may be cut when dry, and consequently it may be used at such hours as are most convenient to the gardener or workman, — while the expense of mowing is considerably lessened, as more than double the work may be done with the same manual labour that Is requisite with the scythe.
