THE HENDERSON PATENT WATER BALLAST ROLLER. 



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 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 materials. 



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 Roller, 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, S26.00. 



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

 ^0 the better. Freezing and thawing causes sod-grovnd to heave, also too 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. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR IRON HAND ROLLERS 



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 tit 

 closely and the handles are of our improved design, will not break and are counterbalanced so they 

 always keep up from the ground, clean and out of the way.

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. 

 Prices, 20-in. sweep, $10.00; 28-in. 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.
