The machine is made to cut the breadth of 42 30 20 and 

 15 inches respectively, is exceedingly durable, easily managed, 

 and adjusted to cut to the length required. The execution of the 

 work is far superior to what may be attained by the most skilful 

 mower, while at the same time a great saving of labour is effected 

 and the turf much improved. By the largest machine a Scotch 

 acre may be mowed, rolled, and the Grass collected in one hour. 



A. S. and Son have much pleasure in stating that they have 

 made considerable improvements in their 15-inch or hand 

 machine this year, by which the draught is considerably lea* ned. 

 Ibis machine combines all the merits and advantages of the 

 I larger machines with firm and secure construction, and is 

 admirably adapted for borders and for lawns of no great extent.

THOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 

 winter months should construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMFNT CONCRETE, which are formed thus -.-Screen the 

 gravel of which the path is at present made from the loam which 

 is mixed with it, and to every part of clean gravel add one of sharp 

 rivpr sand. To five parts of Mich equal mixture add one of Port- 

 land Cement, and incorporate the whole well in the dry state before 

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inches" thick. Any

I Hpno^, nnu in 90 nours n becomes as bard as a rock. Vegetation 

 cannot grow through or upon it, and it resists the action of the 

 severest frost. It is necessary, as water does not soak through it, 

 to give a fall from the middle of the path towards the sides. 



The same preparation makes drst-rate paving for BARNS, 

 CATTL1 -SHEI»< FARM-YARD^ and all orher situations 

 where a clean, hard bottom is a desideratum. May be laid in 

 winter equally well as in summer.
