HORTICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT.
The reputation in which READ'S PATENT HY-
DRAULIC MACHINES are held, has induced some unprin-
cipled adventUrers (who never knew the use of a Garden Ma-
chine) to' palm upon the Public BASE IMITATIONS as
" IMPROVEMENTS" on Read's Patent. Their pretensions
would have been more reasonable if they had first made them
as good. J. READ, during thirty-one years' practical experi-
ence in gardening, first invented the above for his own use, and
has since spent nineteen years in manufacturing and improving
them, for which improvement he has obtained Patents for the
United Kingdoms. These improvements consist ..f a peculiar
arrangemeat of the Valves within the Cylinder, surrounded by
an Air Vessel to protect them from injury.
Manufactured only by the Patentee, 35, Regent Circus,
Piccadilly, London.
None are genuine except stamped with the words " READ'S
PATENT."
