Ferrabee Advertisement in Gardeners Chronicle
THE IMPROVED LAWN MOWING MACHINE
MANUFACTURED BY
J AND H FERRABEE, Phoenix Iron Works, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.
The well-known BUDDING'S PATENT LAWN MOWING MACHINES were originally introduced by J. & H. Ferrabee, who have from time to time materially improved their construction, and can refer to a sale of between 4000 and 5000 of them as the best proof of their utility and the general satisfaction which they have given.
The Machines offered this year by J. & H. Ferrabee are superior to any yet produced, being perfectly adapted for cutting the Grass on Lawns and Verges, and between flower beds; while their strength and durability have been increased and their management simplified. Any person can use than effectually without the least practice. They can be adjusted to cut various lengths of Grass, and will produce a more even and uniform surface than the most skilful mower. The Grass is cut best when dry, so that a machine can be employed at the most convenient time to the workman, and more than double the work may be done with the same manual labour that is requisite with a scythe.
