FOR GARDEN WALKS AND CARRIAGE DRIVES.

walks and carriage drives in order as the Mowing Machine over the scythe on Lawns and Pleasure Grounds. 
At a public trial of the “The Pekekix^ Hoeing and Raking Machine, held on the Walks in the People’s Gardens, and 
afterwards ordinary Drives and Walks, in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, on 5th June, 1884, at which a number of distinguished and 
well-known Horticulturists were present, the following unsolicited Testimonial was drawn up and presented to the Proprietor:— 
“ THE PHCENIX ” Hoeing and Raking Machine, for Garden Walks and Carriage Drives , was tried' to¬

is a thoroughly practical and efficient labour-saving Horticultural Implement.
