jCOR cutting terraces this mower is uneqnaled, 



Jf it being a "train gear" mower. Tlie cutters 



remain close to the sod, withoutthe maclilne being 



held by the handle, to prevent bobbing up and 



down; consequently, for cutting terraces it works 



just as well when the handle is removed. A "terrace 



Iron" Is then attached to the roller hangers, then a rope Is connected, which \ 



allows the operator to stand on tlie top of the terrace and guide the 



mower, as its own momentum carries It down the hill, operates tlie 



knives and cuts the grass, when it is pulled back by the rope for another 



swath. Terrace Irons are extra, 60c. each. 



" 7 hn re used the Bn U-Bearing Ln wn Mower all namtiier, and it is the best 

 machine I have ever used. It lay.s close to the turf ia long gra.ss, while other 

 machines hub up and down, and the knives never clog up." WILLIAM 

 STEWART, SpringSeld, Mass. 



" I am convinced that your Ball-Bearing Lawn Mowerisnot only constructed 

 on scientiHc principles, but is superior to all others. In actual work it saves 

 about half tbetiwe, and workseasily and charmingly." JOHN V. N. STAXDISH 

 {President Lombard University), Galesburg, Ills.

 HORATIO R. NIGHTINGALE,

"I bought two of your 

 24-inch Biill-Ilearing Lawn 

 Mowersa fewdays ago, and 

 we areso pleased with them 

 that I want another one, 

 which please ship, etc." 

 E. R. DURKEE, 



West Pabk, N.Y. 



" We used your Henderson Bail-Bearing 

 Mower all last summer, and must say 

 ' . " that it is the best machine we have ever 



tried iin our lawns, and we have about every make in use, but the men all agree 

 that yours is the ' boss.'" W.M. H. FL.iTT, Comptroller, Lake Side Cemetery, 

 Erie, Fa. 



"I have just bad my lawns cut with the 24-incb Mower (Henderson Bail- 

 Bearing) that you shipped me. The ease with which it runs and the quality of 

 the work done delights me. I have bad several machines prior to this one, but 

 none could compare with the Henderson." JAMES H.iRT, Christopher, King 

 Co., Washington. 



The Henderson BflLL-BEflRiNG" Lawn Mower. 



/^'HE Henderson " Ball-Bearinff ' 



L\^ Mowers in the following respects: 



' I<awn Mo'wer is superior to all other 

 The axles of tlie revolving cutter, like 

 the axles of a bicycle, work in "ball-bearing" journal boxes or cups, 

 which reduces the friction enormously. These parts are made of the finest case- 

 hardened steel, and will last for years, though we have provided against wear 

 should there be any — so that anyone, by simply loosening one screw and tight- 

 ening another, can force the cup and balls higher up the cone-shaped ends of the 

 revolving shaft, thereby taking up ail possible wear. This adjustment is so 

 simple, yet positive, that it can be set to a hair. Our Mower is also built scien- 

 tificall.v correct in other respects, resulting in a phenomenally light running 

 Mower. The castings are lathe-turned and bored, and the journals machine- 

 trimmed, which insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no 

 rattle and play. The knives, of the finest steel and temper, are sharp and cut 

 like razors, and will keep so it the under knife is kept tiglitened up to the 

 revolving knives; for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and, in conse- 

 quence, are self-sharpening. 



PRICES OF THE HENDERSON " BALL=BEARING " LAWN MOWERS. 



16-incli cut, $10.00 ; Grass Catcher Extra, $1.75 

 18-incb cut, 11.00 ; Grass Catcber Extra, 1.85 



/^^HE Henderson ," Ball-Bearing " Mower has high drivewheels, both of 

 1\, which are connected by "train gears" to the large, open, non-clogging 

 ^'' cylindiT placed farenough back to prevent any " kicking up" of the Mower 

 when it strikes heavy grass. The spiral of the knives is correctly propor- 

 tioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved, 

 entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other Mowers. The handles 

 are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of 

 the Mower Is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with 

 improved "grips," which keeps the hands in a natural position, gives more 

 power, and is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on 

 a horizontal grip. We wish to reiterate that our Henderson "Bail-Bearing" 

 Mower is made without regard to cost — to be the best, most durable, and the 

 easiest-working Mower on the market, and while the prices are necessarily a 

 little higher than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in tlie end our 

 Mower will prove much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs expe- 

 rienced with cheap Mowers. 



STRICTLY NET; NO CHARGE FOR PACKING OR CARTAGE. 



21-incIi cut, $12.50; Grass Catcher Extra, $2.00 

 24-inch cut, 14.00 ; Grass Catcher Extra, 2.50 



GBASS CATCHEBS FOS THE HEKDEBSOK B. B. UOWEBS. 



These Catchers are of superior heavy duck; bottom of galvanized iron that will not sag nor drag on the ground when filled; they are quickly attached, 

 removed or dumped. 



A lawn may now be mown in one-half the time required with old style, narrow-cut Mowers.
