HENDERSON'S 



4-Arm Lawn Sprinkler 

 (with Ball and Basket 

 attachment. ) 



AWNS need an abundance of water 



Lto enable their rich luxuriance to 

 be maintained during hot dry 

 weather. If the soil was originally 



' prepared very deep, to induce deep 



root action, the necessity for artificial wa- 

 tering is less pronounced, but lawns intelli- 

 gently laid down in this manner are in the 

 minority in this country. It is therefore 

 advisable on lawns with the average thin 

 turf to water or ''sprinkle" frequently. In 

 such cases, a good lawn sprinkler is a nec- 

 essary adjunct, being far superior to a hose 

 nozzle — the latter usually throws too strong 

 a stream, eventually washing the earth from 

 the grass roots leaving them exposed to the 

 injurious effects of the hot sun thus causing 

 the grass to burn up . W ith a 1 awn sprinkler 

 the same flow of water is broken up and 

 uniformly distributed over a large area in 

 the form "of fine gentle rain, thoroughly sat- 

 urating the ground covered without any in- 

 jurious washing. 



The "Water Witch" sprinklers work 

 nnder a very low pressure better than any 

 other sprinklers we know of. All sprinklers 

 are fitted to attach to the regnlation 1-inch 

 bore garden hose. 



We are frequently asked if a tank or 

 fond of water at a certain elevation ■will 

 work a lawn sprinkler. The following 

 rule is applicable to all such cases, viz.: 

 Water at every foot of elevation gives half 

 a pound pressure. The force to work a 

 sprinkler requiring 20 lbs. pressure, the 

 tank or body of 'water would have to be 

 elevated 40 feet, etc.

HENDERSON'S ( "*#&**) LAWN SPRINKLERS. 



The most popular lawn sprinkler made. Itcan 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 pressureon the water. An ornamental standard, 

 about four feet high, is surmounted with long perforated arms, which revolve, so the beauti- 

 ful sprays areconstantlv changing. Prices: fora4-arm sprinkler, S3. 00;foran8-arm, $3.50. 



II \ I.I, 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 centre and is again raised by the water. 

 Price, $2.75 extra. 



COMMON SENSE LAWN SPRINKLER. 



There are no moving parts to get out of order, no arms to get bent, stopped up, etc. 

 The Sprinkler may be cleaned in a moment, should it become 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 foun- 

 tain, but by falling upon the umbrella spray break it up more and dash the water over all 

 parts of the large circle. The parts all being rigid, there is little loss of pressure. 



While the area covered is very large, yet the spray is so fine that comparatively 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 will vary with the pressure ; good to heavy pressure will wet a 

 circle 20 to 30 feet in diameter. Price, $1.25 each. 



"COMMON SENSE" SPRINKLER. 



THE "COMET" LAWN SPRINKLER. 



THE "COMET 

 SPRINKLER. 



Will Sprinkle an Area FOUR TIMES Greater than any other Sprinkler, 



By means of the swiftly re- 

 volving arms andintermediate 

 gears the upper part of the 

 body is made to revolve slowly : 

 around, carrying the hose ; 

 nozzle, from which a large 

 stream of water is thrown far 

 out beyondthatthrown by the 

 arms, thereby covering four 

 times the space of any other 

 stationary sprinkler. With an 

 ordinary force of water it will 

 thoroughly sprinkle a space of 

 80 feet in diameter. The hose 

 tiozzle and tipson endsof arms 

 are adjustable, so that it can ( 

 be adapted to as small a space 

 as desired. Excepting the legs. 

 it is made of solid brass and 

 nicely nickeled. Most substan- 

 tial and durable as well as the 

 most attractive and useful 

 sprinkler ever made. Price, 

 .$5.00.
