THE LEADING LAWN MOWER OF THE WORLD. 
These celebrated machines are now so universally known 
where Lawns are cultivated, that they require but little de¬ 
scription. The only Lawn Mower operated by an adjustable 
handle, by which the operator can hold the handle at any 
desired hight, and at the same time allowing the machine to 
adapt itself to the surface of the ground, preserving Its 
beautiful and level cut. It is beautifully made and finished, 
and does splendid work. If you want a beautiful lawn, buy 
the -* Archimedean ”—it will last longer, do nicer work, and 
make a handsomer lawn than any Lawn Mower ever put 
into the market. Every one warranted. 'Three sizes lor 
hand and Two sizes for horse-power. The little croquet 
mower cutting a swath 10 inches w ide, the 12 -inch size, also 
the standard hand-size cutting 14 inches wide. A Pony 
mower cutting 28 inches, and Horse mower of 32 inches.
