Thank you for those kind words Geoff. Can I thank Alan for all the hard work he has already done and for what he has still got to do. He has kindly offered to finish off my second volume which is on garden tools and related products (trademarks and logos again). This will be completed over the next few months once I have gathered together…[Read more]

My issue has arrived in the post today thanks. Glad to see that the sale of our Irus cultivators made it into this months’ edition, Alan.

Dave
So sorry to hear of your bereavements over the past six months, hope you are getting plenty of support from the horticultural members of your local club. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting your area and attending the rallies in October for a few years.
Regards
Jean and Graham

Charlie, as this is the update version of the Directory is it necessary for me to say that my details remain the same? Hope you had a good Christmas and best wishes to the family for the New Year.

Hi Ivan
I presume that the photo is of a child sized Web, judging by its position next to your Fireplace and cards?

I will bring you some information and the little booklet that goes with machine when I see you in Sandringham. I presume you are going this year?

web2 started the topic Ransomes and Sims in the forum General talk and discussion 12 years, 4 months ago

There was an interesting small piece on Ransomes and Sims at Ipswich, plus a look inside the modern day factory and a look at some of the original mowers as part of a programme on BBC 2 last Tuesday at 6.30pm – Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo as the commentator. He is on a journey from Norwich to London via the railway network as this…[Read more]

Looks very like the Country Gentleman’s Association General Price Guides that were produced annually around that time. They didn’t tend to put brand names on many items either, although they did advertise a wide range of Four Oaks sprayer items.

Next item for your lawn edger display would have to be the Ransomes Lawn Edger – very collectable, reasonably rare and definitely not a cheap buy (unless you are very lucky). The early examples can, I believe, date from 1910 onwards.

web2 replied to the topic Greensleeves Lawn Edger in the forum Garden implements 12 years, 7 months ago

I have looked up the archives of the ‘old forum’ as I remember posting advertising pictures of Greensleeves items on there some time ago. Greensleeves was discussed quite extensively in early 2010.

I have retrieved those pictures and now intend to put them here on the new forum – hopefully!

The first picture is from the Carters Seeds – Blue Bo…[Read more]

I have managed to get the text ‘bold’ as you can see (I hope!!). I did this by clicking on the b in the first box at the top of the box where we type our post. You then have to remember to click the b again at the end of your post or it won’t work.

I also tried to make the text larger but I have failed with this so far. I will keep on trying.

Hopefully I have just entered the right codes to make this text ‘bolder’ than the normal text which has been in the topics posted so far. If it works when I submit this post, then I will submit another post with how it managed to do the bold.

At the moment I really think I will miss the preview box to see how an item will look before it is…[Read more]
