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



LAWN SPRINKLERS. 



A good lawn sprinkler is a necessary adjunct to all well kept lawns and grass plots ; the water is distributed so 

 -finely and evenly and by leaving a sprinkler in one position long enough the grass can be thoroughly saturated, there- 

 by insuring a luxuriant fresh green sward during the hottest summer drought. All of the sprinklers that we catalogue 

 work satisfactorily with a water pressure of 30 lbs., e.\cepting the Henderson 8 Arm Lawn Sprinkler, which 

 should have a pressure of not less than 40 lbs.; the "Water Witch" works under a very low pressure, belter 

 than any other sprinkler that we know of. 



IVe we frequently asked if a pond or tank of water at a certain elevatiott will work a lawn sprinkler, the following 

 rule is applicable to all stick cases, viz : Water at every foot of elevation gives half a pound pressure — the force to 

 -work a sprinkler requiring 20 pounds pressure — the tank or body of water would have to be elevated 40 feet, etc.

THE HENDERSON LAWN SPRINKLER. 



This is the best lawn sprinkler made. It can be attached to 

 hose and placed anywhere on the lawn, where it serves the double 

 purpose of a beautiful fountain and of thoroughly saturating the 

 grass or garden. The water is distributed in fine drops over an 

 area of 60 to 100 feet in circumference, according to the pressure 

 on the water. An ornamental standard, about four feet high, is 

 surmounted with long perforated arms, which revolve, so the 

 beautiful spravs are constantly changing. Prices ; for a 4-arm 

 sprinkler, $2 75 ; for an 8-arm, $3.50. 



Ball and Basket. This fits on top of the Henderson 

 Sprinkler, and the stream of water keeps the silvered ball dancing 

 on its summit up in the air. When the ball falls the basket 

 catches it, and it rolls into the center and is again raised by the 

 water. Price, $2.50 extra. 



Common Sense Lawn Sprinkler. 



There are no moving parts to get out of order, no 

 arms to get bent, stopped up, etc. The SPRINK- 

 LER may be cleaned in a moment, should it be- 

 come choked by simply loosening the nut the force 

 of water will drive out any dirt that has accumulated. 



In use the most beautiful water effect is produced, 

 there being a large umbrella spray, very fine, as 

 ■well as jets nearly upright ; these jets not only add 

 to the beauty of the fountain, but by falling upon 

 the umbrella spray, dash the water over all parts 

 of the circle which is unusually large, as the parts 

 teing ngid there is little loss of pressure. 



While the water effect is very large, the spray is 

 so fine that but little water is used ; not only this, 

 but the spray being very fine, the sunshine produces 

 most beautiful rainbow effects. 



The diameter of the circle wet will vary with the 

 pressure ; good to heavy pressure will wet a circle 

 20 to 40 feet in diameter. Price, |1.75 each-

TRAVELLING LAWN SPRINKLER. 



Under an ordinary pressure of water it will roll itself slowly and 

 steadily, either in a straight line or in a circle of any diameter de- 

 sired. It can be set to t'avel anywhere from 15 to 500 feet per hour, 

 as preferred. Can be changed from the lowest to the highest speed 

 in a moment. It can be gauged to throw the water over a swath 

 anywhere from 5 to 50 feet in width. It can be used as a stationary 

 sprinkler by throwing it out of gear. With a pressure of water as 

 low as 20 pounds it will drag 75 feet of hose, while with a pressure 

 of 60 to 70 pounds, it will carry 200 pounds extra weight and drag as 

 many feet of hose. 



The Travelling Sprinkler, even when stationary, is equal to all 

 others ; and its ability to move itself over the lawn makes it of the 

 greatest utility. Price, $15 -oo.
