THE PLANET, JR., L-k ■ 

 LAWN y TURF EDGER 



This little tool trims the turf around 

 the edges of the flower beds, walks, roads, 

 etc.; the reovlving cutter does perfect 

 work, either on a curved or straight bor- 

 der, edging accurately at just the correct 

 angle and at the speed of a mile an hour, 

 while the hoe cleans the bottom of walk. 

 The hoe can be removed if desired. It is 

 invaluable in giving a finished appearance 

 to the lawn. Weighs 26 pounds. Price, 

 complete, $6.25. 



THE UNIVERSAL LAWN TRIMMER. 



The latest and best machine that we know of for trimming grass close up to the fence 

 or wall, leaving a strip less than an inch in width, thus reducing hand work with shears 

 to a minimum. It will also be found handy for trimming up around trees, under bushes 

 etc., and in cemeteriesit w;ill be a boon. It cuts 6 inches in width. This Lawn Trimmer- 

 is a high-grade machine in every respect with self-adjusting ball bearings preventing 

 any " end play," thus keeping the knives always set, wearing to the same bevel and there- 

 fore always sharp. Price, $5.00.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ROTARY LAWN FkAKE. 



This is virtually a revolving lawn comb, having flexible steel wire teeth instead of bristle 

 brushes as in the Apollo Sweeper offered below, the latter being a surface sweeper, while 

 the wire teeth of the revolving lawn rake go between the blades of grass and comb out 

 all dead grass, crab grass, leaves, sticks and other rubbish. It leaves the grass standing 

 upright. The action of the three revolving rakes raises up the creeping crab grass and 

 other low growing weeds so the lawn mower to cut them before going to seed; -thus ef- 

 fectually ridding the lawn of annual weeds. In other respects the operation of the two 

 machines is similar, both having dumpable collecting boxes, etc. (See cut.) Price, 24- 

 inch machine, $16.00. (Weight, packed for shipment, 90 lbs.) 



THE APOLLO ROTARY LAWN SWEEPER. 



_ A thoroughly satisfactory machine for sweeping the lawn after mowing. The sweeper 

 gives you a perfect lawn as soon as the sweeping is finished instead of looking gray for 

 several days owing to the withered cut grass. If the sweeper and lawn mower are run 

 in opposite directions, the lawn will be the same shade of color all over. It gathers up 

 and throws into the large collecting box all cut grass, leaves, small stones, sticks, etc.; 

 nothing escapes. When the box is full it is quickly dumped by pulling a cord. It works 

 something like a carpet sweeper, having revolving flexible fibre brushes. It can be set 

 low or high, as desired. It is simple, strong, and easily pushed by a man or boy, leaving 

 the lawn in beautiful condition, clean, bright and green. While essentially a lawn sweeper, 

 yet it is equally valuable for sweeping walks, stables, warehouses, etc., for which rubber- 

 tired wheels can be supplied at an extra cost. 



Price, 20-inch sweep, $10.00; 28-inch sweep, $12.00. 



PHILADELPHIA HORSE LAWN SWEEPER. 



A revolving brush in front sweeps the sod clean and throws the sweepings backward 

 into a large box in the rear. This box can be dumped without stopping. Sweeps 40 

 inches wide. Price. $70.00. 



HENDERSON'S 

 HAND FERTILIZER SOWER. 



FOR TOP-DRESSING LAWNS, ETC. 



Is your lawn poor, worn out, and full of bad spots? 



Then it needs fertilizer — which can be broadcasted on evenly and at any time of the 

 year, with our Hand Fertilizer Sower. 



This machine sows Henderson's Lawn Enricher, bone meal, wood ashes, lime and 

 all kinds of commerdial fertilizers, in large or very small quantities. It can also be 

 successfully used for fertilizing strawberry beds, and other garden and field work; is 

 excellent for sifting wood or coal ashes, sawdust, or dry sand on icy walks; will also 

 sow damp sand by removing two blades. 



The hopper is 34 inches long and holds one and a half bushels. Weight of ma- 

 chine, 83 pounds. It is well made and nicely painted. Price, $12.00. 



"CHAMPION" SOD CUTTER. 



A horse-power machine for cutting sod in long strips; an important and valuable 

 implement for golf grounds, parks and other places which have much sod laying or 

 repairing to do. It is the best and cleanest sod-cutting machine in America. Has 

 a Reversible Knife made of one piece of steel. While one side dulls, the opposite 

 edge is getting sharpened, cannot get choked. An Adjustable Roller regulates the 

 thickness of the sod from one half to two inches in thickness; the front roller swings 

 back under the guide-shoe and takes the weight when the machine is not cutting. 

 The guide-shoe can be changed to either side in a minute; no friction or injury to 

 the grass. The knife can be cleaned without turning over the machine. This new im- 

 plement cuts the sod of uniform width and thickness, in any length, so that it is 

 particularly adapted to giving solidity to slopes in cuts and on embankments, work- 

 ing equally well on level or uneven surface, cutting both ways with the land, and 

 leaving no sod uncut, being light of draft, easily managed, strong, neat and durable. 



One machine will cut from 30,000 to 40,000 square feet per day, thus doing the 

 work of forty men. 



We guarantee the expense saved between cutting by hand and with horse power in 

 one day to pay the price of our machine. 



Instructions for operating furnished with every machine. Every cutter war- 

 ranted. Price, $25.00. 



Full Descriptions and Illustrations of all Tools, Implements, etc., are given in our " Implement Catalogue," mailed on application.
