SHANKS'S IMPROVED GRASS-CUTTING AND ROLLING MACHINE. - The complete success which has attended the introduction of this Improved Machine for Mowing Grass, and its fine adaptation for Cutting the Grass of Lawns, has been fully proved by the numerous instances where it has been tried, and now in common use, particularly at Rossie Priory, Camperdown, and Kimblethmont, Forfarshire; Breadalbane, Perthshire; Clumber, and at many other Noblemen and Gentlemen's seats in England, as well as abroad. The Machines are made to cut breadths of 42, 30, or 20 inches, as required, the latter being adapted to hand-power. The Machine works with perfect ease, producing a beautiful smooth surface, and attended with great saving in abridging labour. Orders may be addressed to Messrs. ALEXANDER SHANKS, jun., & SON, Machine Makers, Arbroath, N. B., by whom further particulars will be given.
