HORSE LAWN MOWERS. 



COLDWELL'S IMPROVED. 



We believe this to be tlie best Horse Lawn Mower ever 

 made. It has side-draft attachment to enable the horse to 

 walk on the cut grass only, and caster rollers which will not 

 mark the lawn. We secure evenness oft cut by an adjustment 

 which raises or lowers the two sides at the same time by 

 means of a simple lever movement ; the same lever serves the 

 purpose of raising the knives from the ground when driving 

 over gravel walks or roads.
