PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— LAWN ESSENTIALS. 



&L 



iMso^s IDEAL dZ&a LAWN MOWER. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER is 

 made without regard to cost — to be the best, most durable 

 and the easiest -working Mower on the market, and while the 

 prices are necessarily a little higher, than those of Mowers 

 simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove much 

 cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs experienced 

 with cheap Mowers. It is superior to all other Mowers in the 

 following respects; the axles of the revolving cutter, like the 

 axles of a bicycle, work in " ball-bearing " journal boxes or 

 cups, which reduces the friction enormously. It is also built 

 scientifically correct in other respects, resulting in a phenom- 



The 



Lightest= Working 



Mower Made. 



enally light-running Mower. A 21-inch cuts the grass as 

 easily as a 16-inch old-style Mower. It is strictly a high- 

 class Mower, made the best we know how — from the highest 

 quality of iron and steel. The castings are lathe-turned and 

 bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which insures true- 

 ness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no irregularities 

 to wear off and leave rattle and play. The knives, of the 

 finest steel and temper, are sharp and cut like razors, and will 

 keep so if the under knife is kept tightened up to the revolving 

 knives- for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and. in 

 consequence, are self-sharpening. We have so simplified 

 the adjustments in our new Ball-bearing Mower that even 

 those ignorant of mechanics will have no trouble in always 

 keeping our Mower in fine cutting order for years and the lawn 

 in uninjured condition. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high 

 drive wheels, large, open, non-clogging cylinder placed far 

 enough back to prevent any " kicking up " of the Mower when 

 it strikes heavy grass. The spiral of the knives is correctly 

 proportioned to give a continuous cut. leaving the lawn as 

 smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface 

 left by other Mowers. The handles are braced and reinf. treed 

 to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of the Mower 

 is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with 

 improved " grips," which keeps the handles in a natural posi- 

 tion, gives more power, ami is less tiresome than a continued 

 grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip. 



Grass Catchers for the Henderson B, B, Mowers. These 

 Catchers are of superior heavy duck, with iron bottom; are 

 quickly attached, removed i ir dumped.
