Calendar of Operations. 



JUNE. 



Hexham District.— We have delayed our monthly note of 

 operations, in the hope of being able to report more favourably 

 of the weather, and are glad to be now able to do so. Seldom 

 hare we bad so cold and backward a month of May, not yideed

 is cold east wind," interspersed with " hail showers " and such 

 like, with the exception of the 2d and 23d, which were fine mild 

 jays; the month has been bitterly cold. On the 31st we had a 

 ^vy rain early in the morning, but it was not till Saturday the 

 Int. i that the wind got out of the east. On that day we had a

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, Regent's Park, Manchester, Sheffield, &c; at 

 Blenheim Palace, Trentham, Cleveden, Elvaston, Broadlands, 

 "Wohurn Abbey, Clumber, Lilleshall, Castle Howard, Shrubland, 

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

 many other of 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: dural le, 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, roiled, and the Grass collected iu 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 tho draught is considerably lessoned. 

 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 ot no great extent. 



Alf.xandeb SBAHKB and Son' also respectfully solicit notice 

 to "Fleming's Weeding or Salting Machine" for destroy in 

 weeds in gravel walks, court-yard ->. drives, <tc. 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. 



Further particulars, with testimonials and prices, may be had 

 on application. 



WATERPROOF PATHS. 

 BARN AND CATTLE SHED FLOORS. 



T^HOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 



-»~ winter montl should construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thns:-Sc: the 

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

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

 river sand. To five parts of such equal mixture add one of Port- 

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

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inch thick. Anv 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is requin beyond th« 

 spade, and in 48 hours it becomes as hard as a rock. Vegetation 

 ennnot grow through or upon it, and it resists the action of th« 

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

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



The same preparation makes first-rate paving for BARNS, 

 CATTLE-SHEDS, FARM-YARDS, and all other situations 

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

 winter equally wpII as in summer.

[ TYLOR and SON'S REGISTERED GARDEN* 



'* • SYRINGE.— Small size, for Amateur use, 21s. each. 

 Large size, for Gardeners' use, 25s- each. 



Extra for Telescope Tube as shown in engraving for waterir 

 plants on stands at a height of 8 feet, so that any quantity ot 

 water can be deposited in the pot without wetting the leav. 10s^ 



By a simple nrrangem.nt this Syringe is rendered more 

 effective than any portable Conservatory or Garden Pump ever 

 rTered to the public. It is equally adapt* 1 for Garden or 

 Conservatory use, and is capable of < urging twice as muck 

 writer to a given tune as any other Syringr nw in usi«. The 

 arran »ent consists in attaching a small flexible suction tube- 

 to the h: el of the Syringe, through which it is filled with water 

 at every barge «>{" the previous contents. By this mean* the 



Byringe is always cha and tlm pull-up stroke of thepisrnn 



rendered pert ly < v. it having, indeed, no work to do. the 

 barrel being previously full of water. Being thus made m>! 

 supplying, a gnat saving of labour is effected : and the necessit 

 of m ping to fill the syringe at every discharge being di>n« 

 away with, the direction of the water can be maintained tor anv 

 length of time. It is perfectly cleanly in its action, as it is not 

 posMbh- for any water to get on the outside of the barrel, which 

 is a well-known inconvenience attendant on the use of everv 

 other Syringe. Its con a miction is perfectly simple, and cannot get 



ol any respectame ironmonger or Seedsman in town or country.
