Suppliers of Budding-Type Lawnmowers Manufactured by Ferrabee

When Ferrabee started to produce the Budding Patent Lawnmower in 1830 the machines could only be purchased direct from the manufacturer. This would have limited the availability of the new machines although it did provide Ferrabee with complete control over sales and distribution (what is now known as the "supply chain"). Nevertheless, as the new machine became better known and demand increased the company began to sell it through a growing number of ironmongers and specialist horticultural and agricultural equipment suppliers in the larger towns and cities across England. 

The following companies are known to have supplied Ferrabee-produced lawnmowers, either as a distributor, wholesaler, or retailer:
