Whereas very inferior descriptions of Steel Digging Forks are 

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

 chasers nf the same have believed them to be the same as those 

 manufactured by me, and to which the Royal Agricultural Society 

 and numerous Agricultural Societies' prizes have been awarded, 

 I hereby respectfully inform the public that every Fork manufac- 

 tured by me is stamped with my trade mark '• J. P.," and that 

 3Ie*n-s. Burgess & Key, of No. 103, Newgate Street, London, are

 These articles are Warranted to stand any kind of work, and to 

 carry the keen edge of a razor without requiring to be sharpened 

 so frequently as is usually necessary to obtain that sharp edge 

 30 requisite for the comfort and use of the practical gardener. The 

 blades are also warranted to wear through to the back. They 

 re used by all the eminent gardeners in England, Ireland, and 

 Scotland, and can be purchased of any nurseryman or seedsman 

 in the three kingdoms. Those who may not have used them are 

 respectfully solicited to give them a trial. The Great Exhibition 

 Prize Medal of IS51, and the Prize Medal of the Horticultural 

 Society of Manchester, at their Show of 1854, was awarded to 

 Sayvor & Cooke for their superiority of material and work- 

 manship. Esta blish 1 1788.

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

 relative thereto can he obtained. These Machines are constructed 

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

 the pulse. 'J hey are fitted with Elevators, which deposit the 

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

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

 of the operations being performed by self-acting machinery, 

 whereby the Corn, Straw, Chaff, and Fulse 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. AU letters for-

TVTEW INVENTION IN LAWN MOWERS, 



■i-N WHICH POSSESS SUPEKIOR ADVANTAGES TO ANY MACHINES 



kow in Use.— In the first place, they will cut the Grass either 

 wet or dry, secondly, by the simple adjustment of a thumb- 

 screw, they can be made to cut Grass either long or short; and, 

 thirdly, these machines are drawn instead of being pushed and 

 drawn, and consequently do not require half th£ usual power to 

 work them. They are rnsule > cut any width suitable for either 

 man or horse. They will turn in ;ry little room and cut at the 

 same time. They are a perfect roller for the width they cut 

 when thrown out of gear. The improvement can be attached to 

 old machines, consequently old machines that are now laid aside, 

 can be brought into use at a small expense.— N.B. These Ma- 

 chines can be adjusted and wrought by any unskilled labourer.

Testimonial from Joshua Major, Esq., landscape Gardener, 



To Mr. Green, Eeeds. * 



" Sir,— As I always appreciate public and useful improve- 

 ments,! most gladly give my testimony to your highly improved 

 Mowing Machine. The one sent for my inspection and trial 

 (cutting a breadth of 24 inches) was drawn on flat ground with 

 ease by one person, and although at the time of trial the lawn 

 was wet, it was cut with the greatest nicety. So complete and 

 simple is the invention, that amateur gentlemen and even ladies 

 may work either the 16* or 20 inch size with ease and pleasure, 

 providing the Grass is not too long. For extensive places I 

 should say the largest size (24 inches) would bo most suitable, 

 for even in undulating ground two persons may work it, but in 

 flower gardens, when beds, &c , are crowded, either of the smaller 

 sizes would be best. I congratulate you on your very valuable 

 and useful invention, which, in my opinion, entirely surpasses 

 and must eventually supersede all others, for it is not only free 

 from intricacy and easy to the workman, but extremely expe- 

 ditious in its operations, and consequently must prove a great 

 saving in the management of Grass Lawns, and a great boon to 

 the public— I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, 



" Knosthorpe, near Leeds, July 19. Joshua Major." 



Several Machines of the old kind, in stock, will be sold at half 



price, viz. :—16 in., 3/. ; 20 in., 31. 5s.; 24 ins., 31. 15*.
