IMPROVED MOWING AND ROLLING MACHINE.

ALEXANDER SHANKS AND SON, Arbroath,

Forfarshire, Inventors and Sole Manufacturers, respectfully solicit the attention of the Nobility, Gentry, and Gardeners to this improved Machine for Mowing and Rolling Lawns. The Machine is in operation in the Royal Gardens at Windsor Palace, Buckingham Palace and at Osborne, in the Botanical Gardens at Kew, Regent's Park, Manchester, Sheffield, &c.; at Blenheim Palace, Trentham, Cliveden, Elvaston, Broadlands, Woburn Abbey, Clumber, Lilleshall, Castle Howard, Shrubland, Eridge Castle, Enville Hall, Tiptree Hall, Chatsworth, and in many other of the principal gardens in the kingdom, as well as in the United States, British America, and on the Continent, where its merits have been fully proved, and its success established.

The Machine is made to cut the breadths of 42, 30, 20, and 15 inches respectively, is exceedingly durable, easily managed, and adjusted to cut to the length required. The execution of the work is far superior to what may be attained by the most skilful mower, while at the same time a great saving of labour is effected. By the largest machine a Scotch acre may be mowed, rolled, and the Grass collected in one hour.

Further particulars, with prices, may be had on application.
