THE PHILADELPHIA LAWN MOWERS, 



Nearly all machines used in mowing lawns are much heavier than is necessary, and 

 more labor is expended in moving them, on account of their weight, than should be. 



To overcome this objection, 

 these machines have beeu in- 

 ti-oduced, and we can say that 

 they liave fully met our expec- 

 tations — being quite equal in 

 strength and durability and in 

 pr.icticiil usefulnes-i to any 

 Lawn Mowers in the market. 



"VVe think all who use them 

 will pronounce them as we do — 



PERFECT LAWN MOWERS. 



The 14-inch machine weighs 

 37 lbs. The drive wheels are 

 %}/2 inches in diameter, the 

 ^rearing is effectually concealed, 

 the knives are madeuf thp best 

 cast steel, and the machine is so 

 compact and strong that it is almost impossible to derange the parts by any reHsonable 

 amount of abuse. It is intended for small lawns, from 3^ to }^ acre, and can be easily 

 worked by a boy of fourteen. Price, S20. 



The Ifi-inch machine weighs 41 lbs., and is intended for lawns from }^ to 3^ 

 acre. S'-^'^ 



The IS-inch machine weighs 46 lbs., and is intended for lawns from 3^ to % 

 acres. S24: 



The ■20-inch machine weighs 50 lbs., easily worked by one man in grass not over 

 four inches high, and is intended for lawns from %! to 1 acre. §26 



In other respects the above three m.ichines are the same as the 14-inch. 

 We wamnt the aliove in grass not over five inches high to run easier than any 

 othf-r make cutting the same width.

WATERS' IMPROVED TREE PRUNER. 



The pruning of Fruit Trees is an operation 

 absolutely necessary during aU stages of their 

 existence. 



The peculiar construction of the hook which 

 encircles the limb, the support of the blade being 

 upon b th sides, which is very important, allowing 

 the blade to be made very thin, thereby reducing 

 tlie resistance of the wood and making an easier 

 aud smoother cut than any other device. 



The knife being connect'd by a rod, the pie 

 may be of any desired length. 



The small space required fr working the knife 

 allows it to be used amone close, dense branches, 

 where great difficulty is found in using the old- 

 fa~hioned shears.
