BUDDING'S PATENT MACHINE FOR CUTTING LAWNS PLEASURE GROUNDS, BOWLING GREENS, &c. MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY

JOHN FERRABEE AND SONS, Phoenix Iron Works near Stroud, Gloucestershire, Engineers, Millwrights, Machinists, Iron and Brass Founders, and Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements.

This Machine may be worked by persons who cannot use a scythe. It may 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, enabling the gardener to cut his lawns at the most convenient time, and rendering sweeping afterwards unnecessary; while, with the same amount of labour, more than double the quantity of work can be done than with a scythe. Upwards of 3000 of these machines are now in use. They are made of various sizes both for hand and horse power, and the prices this season have been considerably reduced.

Messrs. Ransome and May, Ipswich, are General Wholesale Agents for London, Middlesex, and the adjacent ecounties; also for Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, and the Eastern Counties.

The Machines are also sold by the following Ironmongers: Mr. W. Drury, Castle-street, Liverpool; Messrs. Lister and Lees, Cateaton-street, Manchester; Messrs. Mappleḥeck and Lowe, Bull-ring, Birmingham; Messrs. J. Nelson and Sons, 47, Brig gate, Leeds; Mr. T. Johnson, Leicester; Messrs. Young and Spence, Shrewsbury; Messrs. Sandars & Haywood, Derby; and Mr. John Wigglesworth, Market-place, Nottingham.
