“THE PHOENIX” 
(PATENT) 
COMBINED HOEING AND RAKING 
MACHINE, 
FOR GARDEN WALKS AND CARRIAGE DRIVES. 
Will Hoe and Rake efficiently a space of Garden Walk or Carriage Drive, 2 feet 6 inches in width, as fast as a pony icill walk. 
Acknowledged by several of the most eminent Horticulturists to be a “ thoroughly practical and efficient labour-saving 
Horticultural Implement.” Is simple in construction, not liable to get out of order, and will perform efficiently, in one day, the 
work of 30 men. 
As an economiser of labour, this machine possesses as great an advantage over the ordinary Hoe and Rake in keeping garden 
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 Phcenix” 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 anil 
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¬ 
day in the Phoenix Park, Dublin , under our personal inspection, and it is our unanimous opinion, that the Machine 
is a thoroughly practical and efficient labour-saving Horticultural Implement.
