PHOENIX IRON WORKS, NEAR STROUD,

GLOUCESTERSHIRE

BUDDING'S LAWN MOWING MACHINE, 

With Registered Improvements, No. 3074. 

This Machine may be worked by persons who cannot use a scythe. It can be adjusted to cut any length, and leaves a more even and uniform surface than can be produced by the most skilful mower. The Grass may be cut when dry, and may be collected in the box; which enables the gardener to cut his lawns at the most convenient time, and renders sweeping afterwards unnecessary; while, with the fame amount or labour,  more than double the quantity of work can be done than with a scythe. It is very durable, easily sharpened and kept in order, and its management is extremely simple.

J. F. & Sons, who were the sole Manufacturers, of BUDDING'S MACHINES under the Patent, and who have produced and sold nearly 4000 of them, have this year increased their efficiency and perfected their operation, by improvements which are protected by Registration. The Improved Machines, in addition to the Registration Number 3074, have the name, "J. FERRABEE & SONS," cast on the frame; and none should be purchased without this guarantee.

Hand Machines are made of three sizes - cutting the several widths of 16, 19, and 22 inches. The smallest may be worked by one man; the others require the assistance of a strong boy.

Horse Machines are made of two sizes; one cutting 30 inches, and the other 36 inches wide.
