NEW INVENTION IN LAWN MOWERS,

WHICH POSSESS SUPERIOR ADVANTAGES TO ANY MACHINES NOW IN USE - In the first place, they will cut the Grass either wet or dry; secondly, by the simple adjustment of a thumb screw, they can be made to cut Grass either long or short; and, thirdly, these machines are drawn instead of being pushed and drawn, and consequently do not require half the usual power to work them. They are made to cut any width suitable for either man or horse. They will turn in very little room and cut at the same time. They are a perfect roller for the width they cut when thrown out of gear. The improvement can be attached to old machines, consequently old machines that are now laid aside, can be brought into use at a small expense - N.B. These Machines can be adjusted and wrought by any unskilled labourer. 

Price to cut 16 inches, £6 | Do, 20 inches, £7 | Do. 24 inches, £9. 

Testimonial from Joshua Major, Esq., Landscape Gardener, Knosthorpe. To Mr. GREEN, Leeds.

Sir, - As I always appreciate public and useful improvements, I most gladly give my testimony to your highly improved Mowing Machine. The one sent for my inspection and trial (cutting a breadth of 24 inches) was drawn on flat ground with ease by one person, and although at the time of trial the lawn was wet, it was cut with the greatest nicety. So complete and simple is the invention, that amateur gentlemen and even ladies may work either the 16 or 20 inch size with ease and pleasure, providing the Grass is not too long. For extensive places I should say the largest size (24 inches) would be most suitable, for even in undulating ground two persons may work it, but in flower gardens, when beds &c. are crowded, either of the smaller sizes would be best. I congratulate you on your very valuable and useful invention, which, in my opinion, entirely surpasses and must eventually supersede all others, for it is not only free from intricacy and easy to the workman, but extremely expeditious in its operations, and consequently must prove a great saving in the management of Grass Lawns, and a great boon to the public. - I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

"Knosthorpe, near Leeds, July 19. JOSHUA MAJOR."
