BARR'S LONDON-MADE ECONOMIC SUCTION GARDEN ENGINES. 
No. 1.— TO BE WORKED BY A MAN OR A LAD. 
The mechanism of our No. 1 portable Garden Engine is simple, but of the highest order. It works easily 
possessing all the advantages and embracing the latest improvements in Garden Engines. It will throw a con 
tinuous stream of water 40 feet, being the greatest distance which has yet been attained by this class of Engine so 
that the maximum of work may be obtained with the minimum of labour. The Engine will draw water through 
a finch suction-hose from a distance of 60 feet, so that with the end of the pipe placed in a well pond or 
stream, a large quantity of water may soon be distributed over the garden, or used for extinguishing fires in 
dwelling-houses or farmyards. The value of this Engine can hardly be over-estimated for washing fruit-trees

standard roses, syringing the conservatory, and cleansing windows. On hop-farms it will be of great service for 
cleansing the hops, or syringing them with tobacco-water. We have added a stuffing-box to prevent the escane 
of water at the handle, and have placed the waste-pipe on the off-side, so that the operator may work a whole 
day without wetting himself— a matter of considerable importance. An angle-joint, similar to that used in con 
nection with our Syringe, can be applied for syringing plants from beneath, or in other positions not in a straight 
line from the operator. The Engine is supplied, at the price quoted, with a finch two-feet suction hose and 
strainer, and a discharge-pipe of the same diameter and length, including a jet and two roses We mav 
remark that the Engine, from its superior fittings and workmanship, does not readily get out of repair and when 
it docs so it is very easily put into working order again. Price 50J. Extra hose, is. 2d per foot run ’ 
No. 2.— TO BE WORKED BY A LADY OR A BOY. 
The construction of this Engine is in all respects the same as No. 1 , but with a shorter piston and smaller 
barrel. It will throw a continuous Stream of water 30 feet, and is worked with great ease. To ladv gardeners 
and amateurs it is a boon. Price 42 s. 1 5 
The Selby Flower Gatherer. 
It would be impossible to say too much in favbur of 
the Selby Flower Gatherer. In its construction, the 
spring guide follows the action of the scissors, and 
thereby infallibly secures hold of what the scissors 
cut. s/6 each.

In all respects, the action of the Fruit and Flowet' 
Gatherers is the same. The Fruit Gatherer, as illus- 
trated above, is mounted 011 a four-foot wooden handle, 
and, as will be seen from the illustration, the action of 
the Fruit Gatherer is performed by means of a cord.
