To those who are the fortunate possessors of lawns so large that the use of a hand mower 
would become tedious, we offer the Philadelphia Ilorse Lawn Mower , feeling confident that it 
will do its work in a thorough manner, with a great saving of time and labor. This machine is 
made of iron and steel, with but very little wood used in its construction, and is therefore the 
most durable machine in the market. All the gearing is amply protected, .which is a very impor¬ 
tant item in its construction, as it prevents all clogging, a common fault in all other machines. 
As shown above with shafts and seat, it is intended to be used on large, open grounds, and any 
one capable of driving a horse can handle it so as to do excellent work. As shown in the follow¬ 
ing cut with draft rod, it is especially adapted to hilly and uneven lawns where there are many 
walks and much shrubbery 
On such lawns there is no lawn mower made that will equal them in convenience of opera¬ 
ting, keeping in order , and quality of work. Being of very light draft and easily guided around 
obstructions and turned in every small space, they can be used on any ground where a horse can 
get through without anything attached to him. 
As the machines will work equally well without the castor wheels, and with the horse walk¬ 
ing to one side, they can be used in wet weather without leaving horse and castor wheel tracks ; 
and in hot, dry weather, an even, green sward can be left, of sufficient height to protect the grass 
roots, which cannot he do?ie with a machine in which it is necessary for the horse and castor wheels 
to press down the grass in front of the cutters.

THE PHILADELPHIA LAWN SWEEPERS. 
In connection with the Hand 
Lawn Mower, we wish to call at¬ 
tention to the Philadelphia Lawn 
Sweepers. These are coming into 
use more and more each season, and 
the perfect manner in which tney do 
there work is simply wonderful. 
They remove all cut grass and leave 
the lawn in a beautifully smooth and 
velvety condition. A person having 
a fine lawn of any extent will find 
one of these machines to be indis¬ 
pensable, and will be amply repaid 
by the excellent condition in which 
it leaves his grounds 
They are very simple in construc¬ 
tion. A driving roller gives motion 
to a revolving brush placed directly 
in front, causing it to sweep the sod 
clean and throw the sweepings backward from the top of the brush into a large box in the rear 
of the roller. In the horse-machines this box can be dumped without stopping.
