Water Ballast 



Gives ANY Weight 

 With One Roller 



if it is a Wilder. Isn't it ridiculous to pay for two or three hundred pounds of 

 useless metal in a lawn roller, AND to pay freight on it as well, when this 

 simple, easy running Water Witch does better work and costs one-third less ? 



Isn't it a pity to have a roller too heavy for a soft lawn — too light for a hard 

 lawn, when this new invention fits every condition ? 



Wilder's Water Witch Roller 



is quickly filled with water or sand, as much or as little as you like. The 



one shown here weighs only 1 1 5 pounds empty, but weighs up to 470 pounds 



\. with water ballast and up to 737 pounds with sand ballast. The other size 



\ weighs 132 pounds empty, and from that, any weight you wish, up to nearly 



half a ton. Either size gives you a dozen rollers in one. After the season 



the Water Witch can be hung up or stored in the loft. Simplest, handiest tool of the 



kind you ever used, and will wear as long as any all metal roller. Don't spoil your 



awn, but get a Water Witch and save half the usual coft when you buy this time.
