    BUDDING'S PATENT MACHINE for Cutting Grass Plots, Pleasure Grounds, Bowling Greens, &c. By the use of this machine a more even and uniform surface can be produced than by the most skilful mower. It may be so adjusted as to leave the grass passed over by it of any required length, at the pleasure of the operator. The grass cut off is collected in a box, and renders sweeping unnecessary; and, as it can be used best in dry weather, it enables the gardener to cut his lawn at the most convenient time. It is very durable, easily sharpened and kept in order. They are made to cut the several widths of 16, 19, and 23 inches.
