 HObh who would enjoy their Gardens during the 



rr^vT?Av t f !n? m ould construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thus:- Screen the 

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



H^ll V'/ nd t0 every part of clean * ravel add °™ of sharp 

 river sand. To five parts of such eq H al 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 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required beyond the 

 spade, and in 48 hours it becomes as hard 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 first-rate paving for BARNS?

fert ing Manure, which is Peat Charcoal completely 

 Utnnted vita London Sewage, will be found most efficient for 

 mry species of crop ; more especially for Peas, Beans, Turnips, 

 MtcgoJd Wurzel, and other root crops. It will produce a greater 

 return for the outlay than Guano or any other Manure at an 

 Mtivtlent value : it also possesses the property of retaining its 

 fertilising power longer than other Manures now in use. It may 

 U obtained at the SEWAGE MANURE WORKS, Stanley 

 Bridge. Fulham, at 4/. per ton, and in quantities less than half 

 i ton, at 5i. per cwt., for ready money only ; and in quantities not

Whereas very inferior descriptions of Steel Digging Forks are 

 now manufactured and sold, and I have been informed that pur-

 and numerous Agricultural Societies' prizes have been awarded, 

 I hereby respectfully inform the public that every Fork manufac-

 Messrs. Burgess & Key, of No. 103, Newgate Street, London, are

 ment, 6, Fitzroy Terrace, New Road, where all information 

 relative thereto can be obtained. These Machines are constructed 

 to horn Barley, and make a perfect separation of the chaff from 



the pulse. They are fitted with Elevators, which deposit the 

 grain into bags, and beyond the feeder of Machine require no 

 hands except to take away the Corn, &c , as threshed, the whole 

 of the operations being performed by self-acting machinery, 

 whereby the Corn, Straw, Chaff, and Pulse are delivered in the 

 places assigned for them. 



C. S. & Co. have paid special attention to this class of 

 Machinery, and Fixed Barn Machinery, and from the position 

 they have taken at the Royal and all the leading Agricultural 

 Shows of England, flatter themselves that for efficiency, dura- 

 bility, and simplicity, their Engines and Machines are not 

 surpassed by any other maker in England. All letters for- 

 warded to the Works at Lincoln will have immediate attention;

 IMPROVED MOWING AND ROLLING MACHINE. 



ALEXANDER SHANKS and SON, Arbroath, 

 Forfarshire, Inventors and Sole Manufacturers, respectfully 

 solicit the attention of the Nobility, Gentry, and Gardeners to 

 this Improved Machine for Mowing and Rolling Lawns. The 

 Machine is in operation in the Royal Gardens at Windsor 

 Palace, Buckingham Palace, and at Osborne, in the Botanical 

 Gardens at Kew, Re gen t r s Park, Manchester, Sheffield, &c; at 

 Blenheim Palace, Trentham, Cleveden, Elvaston. Broadlands, 

 Woburn Abbey, Clumber, Lillesball, Castle Howard, Shrubland, 

 Eridge Castle, Enville Hall, Tiptree Hall, Chatsworth, and in 

 many other ot the principal gardens in the kingdom as well as in 

 the United States, British America, and on the Continent, where 

 its merits have been fully proved, and its success established. 



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 lessened. 

 This machine combines all the merits and advantages of the 

 larger machines with firm and secure construction, and is 

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



Alexander Shanks and Son also respectfully solicit notice 

 to "Fleming's Weeding or Salting Machine" for destroying 

 weeds in gravel walks, court-yards, drives, &c. This machine 

 is now in operation in many parts of England, where it has given 

 ample satisfaction as the best and most economical means of 

 thoroughly keeping down weeds or Moss
