NEW HENDERSON 



LAWN MOWER 



The Latest Improved, Easiest Running 1 , and Handsomest Lawn Mower Made. 



"We believe we sell more Lawn Mowers than any other retailer in the United States, and thus being brought into direct contact 

 •with users of Lawn Mowers everywhere, has given us experience that has kept us abreast of the times in suggesting and adopting 

 various improvements. The improvements made in the "NEW HENDERSON" LAWN MOWER this past season, add greatly 

 to its strength and handsome appearance, so that it is now the most perfect Lawn Mower yet produced. 



THE FOLLOWING ARE ITS CHIEF POINTS OF MERIT: 



desirable to gather the grass, as on tennis courts, croquet grounds, 

 etc. "We now make all the "Henderson " Lawn Mowers so that 

 a grass-gathering apparatus can be applied to them at any time. 



TERRACE IRON— By removing the handle of the mower and 

 hooking the " terrace iron " into the holes just over the back wooden 

 roller, the mower works splendidly on terraces sufficiently steep. 



THE EASIEST RUNNING.— In our trials with leading mow- 

 ers, we proved by accurate tests that the "Henderson" ran one-fourth 

 easier than the lightest of them, and one-third easier than most. 



CUTS THE GRASS SMOOTHER.— Eapidly speeded so that 

 the knives strike the grass one-half nearer than other mowers, conse- 

 quently it does smoother work, leaving the lawn level and velvety. 



THE MOST DURABLE.— The journals are fitted so they can 

 . be drawn together with a screw, taking up any wear, and will always 

 cut well and save repairs. 



CUTS HIGH GRASS.— And does perfect work. 



THE MOST PERFECT AND SIMPLE.— One of the greatest 

 points of superiority is the simple manner with which the knives 

 ■can be adjusted. 



NO CLOGGING. — It throws all cut grass back, so there is no 

 clogging, and the gears are all enclosed and protected from wear. 



WILL NOT "BARK" TREES.— A protecting rod allows it to 

 cut within an inch of trees or posts without danger of "barking." 



THE HANDSOMEST made, finished in red, gold and black. 



WARRANTED to give satisfaction, and work as represented, 

 ■with the privilege of returning any mower that does not do so. 



All parts are "interchangeable"; any piece can be duplicated. 



"GATHERING THE GRASS."— As a rule in this country it 

 is proper to leave the cut grass on the ground to protect the roots 

 from the sun, and act as a mulch or fertilizer. Yet it is sometimes

I find your mower a perfect gem and ahead of all others in every respect; it is as 

 near perfect as can well be. — J. H. Hazen, M.D., Amboy, Lee Co.. 111.. June 13, 1889. 



The "Henderson Lawn Mower" we bought of you in 188K has given excellent 

 .satisfaction and is still in good condition.— Harry Hale, of Hand, Kellogg & Hale, 

 Elizabethtown, N. Y., Sept. 19th, 1889. 



I am delighted with the "Henderson Lawn Mower"; it does the work perfectly ; 

 some of the gra9S was over eight inches high and very thick, but the mower easily 

 laid it low.— M. O. Fraser, Garnervill^, N. Y., May 29th, 1888. 



We are well pleased with your lawn mower. — L. K. Young & Co., Seed Mer- 

 chants, Pueblo, Col., March 28th, 1888. 



I use your Henderson Mower and find it just as you state in catalogue, desirable 

 in every way. I have used several others for years, but I must say I prefer yours. 

 —Mrs. G. M. Smyth. Brooklyn, June 1st, 1888. 



I purchased one of your " Henderson Mowers" in spring of 1888. My neighbor is 

 so well pleased with it, that if he can dispose of his he will take one of your9.
