AAAAA.1AAAAAAAAA* 



Henderson's Border and Terrace Mower. 



Especially designed to cut the grass on borders — the narrow strips of sod sometimes only a few 

 inches wide — between flower beds and walks where a side-wheel mower would have one wheel down 

 in the gutter, and in consequence the mower would cut into the sod. In our Border Mower a large 

 light cylinder extends the full width of the mower and keeps the machine level with the surface 

 and does perfect work. This machine is also useful for regular lawn work. It is very light 

 running, and will give thorough satisfaction.

Excelsior Roller Lawn Mower. 



An old reliable lawn mower for those prefer- 

 ring a roller mower which, of course has some 

 advantages over side-wheel mowers, as in 

 mowing new lawns where the ground is still 

 soft and impressionable, cutting narrow bor- 

 ders, where a side-wheel machine will run off 

 the edge, rolling down worm casts, ant hills, 

 etc.; but to offset these merits, roller mowers 

 do push a little harder. Excelsior Roller Mow- 

 ers are durably made with best crucible steel 

 knives and the adjustments are simple and 

 with the 4-balded revolving cutter is adapted 

 for all lawn cutting. The 6-bladed cutter is for extra fine work and for golf courses, tennis courts, etc., but 

 runs harder.

The Philadelphia "AlLSteel" 

 Lawn Mower. 



This all-steel. Style A, Philadelphia mower is 

 about the last word in lawn mower construction. 

 The frame, being made of steel in place of cast iron, 

 is much lighter, stronger and not liable to break 

 any place. The drive wheels, 10 inches in diameter, 

 give great traction power and spin the 4-bladed 

 6 J-in. revolving cutter with great speed, thus leav- 

 ing a smoothly cut surface. The train of three gears 

 keeps the cutters down to their work and prevents 

 "bobbing up" in high grass. The roller bearings 

 aid in the phenomenal ease with which this light 

 and practically indestructible mower is operated.

The Henderson Patent Water Ballast rxoller. 



The advantages of a roller, the weight of which can be increased or lightened at pleasure, can scarcely 



be overestimated. Often on light or sandy soil, or on newly made lawns, or in early spring when the ground 



is moist, or after a rainy spell, a lighter-weight roller is a necessity; then on thick sward or on hard soil. 



on walks and roads, a heavy roller is needed. With a Henderson Water Ballast Roller one can secure 



any weight desired, between minimum and maximum, by simply removing a thumb-cap from each end 



and fihing the two hollow sections with as much water or sand as may be needed, which is 



easily and quickly done with a hose or through a funnel; and the roller is as quickly emptied. 



The inside being heavily galvanized, it will last for years. 



These are perfect rollers, and do perfect work on lawns, tennis courts, golf grounds, roads, 

 walks, etc. They are high grade in every respect, being carefully manufactured of best ma- 

 terial. They will be found practically noiseless and very durable. The rolling surfaces are 

 very smooth and will not gather grass or soil; the sections fit closely, leaving no mark, and the 

 diameters are large, insuring a lighter draft for a given weight than is usual. 



The Henderson Patent Water Ballast Poller, for man power. Weighs 300 lbs.; loads up 

 to 600 lbs.; tracks, 24 inches, diameter of drums, 24 inches; counterbalanced handle, stands 

 erect when not in use. Price, $25.00. 



The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn is inestimable — and the heavier l?e roller 

 the belter. Freezing and thawing causes sod-ground to heave, also loo liberal watering with force 

 washes soil from the roots of the grass — in either event, 

 if the sod is not pressed down, the grass is apt to be 

 burned out or injured in hot weather leaving the lawn 

 full of bad spots. A lawn on which a roller is used 

 is never troubled with moles. 



THE "VELVETLAWN" SEEDER. 



A VALUABLE NEW MACHINE FOR SEEDING NEW LAWNS. 

 Also for renovating worn out lawns and bad spots. Puts the seed IN old sod or IN newly prepared, ground covers and 



rolls it. 

 The " Velvetlawn " Seeder is a valuable new machine for seeding new lawns and doubly valuable for renovating 

 worn our lawns and bad spots in Greens, Tennis Courts, etc., without redigging or plowing, and without marring the 

 surface. It puts the seed IX newly prepared ground or IN old sod — the seed is distributed very evenly in any desired 

 quantity-; — wind or no wind, not too thick in some places and too thin in others. In new ground or soft, turf it is easil 

 operated by one man but in old hard sod it may require another person to pull. The revolving discs cut narrow trenches 

 the seed being sown in it and immediately behind the discs. There are eight of these discs with their accompanying 

 seed spouts. These sow 2 inches apart — putting the seed in at any desired depth thus the machine sows a strip 16 inches 

 wide as fast as a man can walk. It will sow and cross sow an area of 50 x 150 feet in thirty minutes a little roller follows 

 each seed spout thus pressing the soil back and covering the seed. As each disc, seed spout and roller work individually 

 they therefore adapt themselves to the irequalities of the ground — insuring a perfectly even stand of grass. Price, Hand 

 Power Velvet Lawn Seeder, complete with press wheels, net Sio.00.
