PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— LAWN* MOWERS, ETC. 



THE HENDERSON 



Cast Iron Water Ballast Roller. 



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

 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 maxi- 

 mum, by simply removing a thumbcap 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 600 lbs.; tracks, 24 inches; diameter of 

 drums, 24 inches; counterbalanced handle, stands erect when not in 

 use. Price, $37.50.

Henderson's Sod Perforator. 



An invaluable tool to aid in renovatinS 

 bad spots in lawns, grass plots, putting 

 greens, etc. It is operated like a rammer, 

 the lower surface being provided with 

 spikes which jjuncture the sod, leaving 

 small holes into which much of the 

 seed or fertilizer drops when broad- 

 casted 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. 



The "Everwear'' Lawn 

 and \A/alk Sweeper 



Is fitted with a revolving reel, 12 

 in diameter, composed of ^ eorioo r. 

 eight Palmetto fibre brt 

 most durable fibre known, ur 

 by water. All grass, leaves, littei 

 are swept into the collecting box, which is dumped by simply pi. 

 the chain. Machine can be adjusted for close or light sweepi 

 adapting it for lawns, tennis courts, putting greens, etc., 

 as well as walks and stable floors. The brush reels 

 automatically take up the wear of the fibre brushes. 

 The drive wheels are 15 inches in diameter, giving a 

 powerful spin to the reel, pushing easily, and reduces the 

 labor of hours to a few minutes. 



Henderson's Superior' 



Iron Haoid 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 one-man power 

 roller for level lawns. Remember 

 that the heavier the roller used on 

 your lawn the finer sward you will 

 have.
