The "Henderson" New Hand Lawn Mower.

I 



We have practically te9ted almost every Lawn Mower that has 

 been offered within the last ten years, hoping to find one that 

 would combine lightness of draft with Buperior cuttiDg quali- 

 ties. None have ever quite met our expectations, so we have 

 had made for us a New Lawn Mower, which we have thoroughly 

 tried, and which we consider the best ever offered. We have 

 accepted the suggestion that it be called the "Henderson," 

 whit a may be taken as a pretty sure sign that we believe in it. 

 Its advantages are : 



1st. It is the easiest running Mower made. In comparative 

 trials it has run one-fourth lighter than the lightest draft mow- 

 ers previously made. 



2d. It will cut higher grass than any other, cutting clean and 

 regularly grass eight inches tall. 



3d. It makes but little noise, is very simple in its adjust- 

 ment, cuts smoothly, and the knives are so speeded that they 

 cut the grass twice ; in other words, all grass that was left long 

 at first cut, by being bent over, is evened down by the next or 

 following knife. 



4th. It throws all the cut grass back, so that there is no 

 clogging ; the gears are not liable to clog, and it has adjustable 

 boxes to take up the wear. 



5th. It is self-sharpening, and its construction is so simple 

 that it can be quickly adjusted by the most inexperienced. 

 Repairs will never be much of an item on this Mower. 



6th. It cuts steep terraces or narrow borders (see illustra- 

 tion) just as easily as the level lawn, and it can be run within 

 an inch of trees or posts without injury, as the knives are pro- 

 tected by an iron rod. 



7th and last. We warrant the " Henderson " Lawn Mower 

 to work as represented, with the privilege of returning any 

 machine if it does not do so.
