Carson Paint Advertisement in Gardeners Chronicle

Seen on the same pages as Thomas Green's lawnmower. Could Carson's products have been used to paint early lawnmowers?

    PATRONISED BY

    THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT    |  THE LAMENTED PRINCE CONSORT   |    RAILWAY AND CANAL COMPANIES

    THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT  | MOST OF THE NOBILITY & GENTRY    |  COLLIERIES, IRON MASTERS, &c.

    It is extensively used at home and abroad for all kinds of

    OUT-DOOR WORK,

    and has been proved, after a practical test of 70 years, to surpass any other Paint. It is applicable to WOODEN HOUSES, FARM and other OUT-BUILDINGS, PARK FENCING, GATES, &c.; also IRON ROOFING, BRIDGES, HURDLING, and every description of Iron Work, while for PUBLIC EDIFICES, MANSIONS, VILLA RESIDENCES,

    and every kind of BRICK, STONE, COMPO, &c., it is unrivalled, presenting the appearance of fine cut stone. It is undoubtedly the only Paint that will stand on

    CONSERVATORIES, GREENHOUSES, FRAMES, &c.

    and is in consequence largely used by the Nobility and Gentry, also many eminent Horticulturists, for such purposes. The ANTI-CORROSION is LOWER IN PRICE, and LASTS TWICE AS LONG as the Best White Lead; at the same time is economical in application, as

    ANY PERSON CAN LAY IT ON.

    The Anti-Corrosion is a Powder, and will keep any length of time.

    Carriage paid upon quantities of not less than 5 cwt. to any station in England and Wales, or by Water to any Port in the United Kingdom, where there is a direct communication from London, as Leith, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Aberdeen, &c.

    OIL, TURPENTINE, AND BRUSHES.

    Patterns, Cards, and Testimonials sent upon application to

    WALTER CARSON & SONS (SUCCESSORS TO THE INVENTORS),
