The Henderson 



CAST IRON WATER BALLAST ROLLER 



The advantages of a roller, the weight of which can be increased o 

 lightened at pleasure, can scarcely be over-estimated. 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 filling 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 

 material, and the diameter is large, insuring a lighter draught 

 for a given weight than is usual. 



The Henderson Patent Water Ballast Roller for man power. 

 Weighs 300 lbs.; loads up to GOO lbs.; tracks, 24 inches; diam- 

 eter of drums, 24 inches; counter-balanced handle, stands 

 erect when not in use. Price " 50

Gem Lawn and 

 Dandelion Rake. 



A fine-toothed sheet metal rake with self-cleaner. The stripper 

 being operated by a wire trigger attached to the handle, so the 

 contents can be deposited in a basket without handling. % The 

 teeth are curved so they ride over the ground, removing all trash, 

 cut grass, worm casts, dandelion flowers, leaves, etc. For worm casts 

 and dandelions on putting greens this rake is especially recommended. 

 Price, 16-inch size, $2.00. 



The "Early Bird" Worm Cast Rake. 



It is like a rake only in that it has a head which is 

 dragged by a handle. 



Teeth: Note these flat, blade-like teeth, specially 

 formed out of the broad bottom which 

 holds them always in 

 flat positions of the 

 ground. These teeth 

 are so close together 

 that every worm cast 

 and every bit of debris, 

 (no matter how small) 

 is picked up and rolled back into the broad back bottom. 



Width 30 inches. Weight 8 lbs. 4 oz. Price each $9.00. 



Henderson's Sod Tamper. 



Useful in laying new sod — and in tamping back sod that has heaved 



from frost or other causes — leveling hummocks in Putting Greens, etc. — 

 Cast iron 10 x 10 inches square, weighs with handle 17 lbs. Price, 

 $2.75. 



Superior Iron Hand Roller. 



These are very superior rollers. The edges are beveled to prevent marking, the 

 faces are ground smooth so they will not pick up and carry lumps of earth, the axles 

 are of steel, the sections fit closely and the handles are of our improved design, 

 will not break, and are counter balanced so they will always keep up from the 

 ground, clean and out of the way. From 300 to 500 lbs. is the weight chosen for 

 a one man power roller for level lawns. Remember that the heavier the roller 

 used on your lawn the finer sward you will have.

Henderson's Sod 

 Perforator. 



An invaluable tool to aid in renovating 

 bad spots in lawns, grass plots, 

 putting greens, etc. It is operated 

 like a rammer, the lower surface 

 being provided with spikes which 

 puncture the sod, leaving small holes 

 into which much of the seed or 

 fertilizer drops when broadcasted 

 thus preventing its being blown or 

 washed away. The holes are filled 

 with soil by the first rain, which 

 covers the seed so it can germinate. 

 Price $3.75
