THE "HENDEESOS LAAVN IIOWEB. 



T'l^HEN we state that we believe we sell more- 

 ^-^ Lawn Mowers than any other retailer in the 

 I nited States, it will be quickly understood that 

 we are brought into direct contact with users- 

 of Lawn Mowers everywhere, and this experi- 

 ence has always kept us abreast of the times in 

 suggesting or adopting the various improve^ 

 raents that were needed from time to time. 

 In the " HENDERSON " LAWN MO"WER 

 (first offered in 1886) is presented the most per' 

 feet Lawn Mower yet produced. 



The following are its Chief Points of Merit: 



THE EASIEST RUNNING.— In our trials with leading mow- 

 ers, we proved by accurate tests with the dynamometer that the 

 "Henderson" ran one-fourth easier than the lightest of them, and 

 one-third easier than most. 



CUTS THE GRASS SMOOTHER.— It is so rapidly speeded 

 that the knives strike the grass one-half nearer than other mowers, 

 consequently it does smoother work, leaving the lawn level and 

 velvet}'. 



THE MOST DURABLE.— The journals are fitted so they can 

 be drawn together with a screw, taking up any wear, and will always 

 cut well and save repairs. 



CUTS HIGH GRASS.— It Avill cut high grass and do perfect 

 work. 



THE MOST PERFECT AND SIMPLE.— One of the greatest 

 points of superiority, is the simple manner with which the knives 

 can be adjusted. 



NO CLOGGING. — It throws all cut grass back, so there is no 

 clogging, and the gears are all enclosed and protected from wear. 



WILL NOT "BARK" TREES.— A protecting rod allows it to 

 cut within an inch of trees or posts without danger of " barking " 

 them or injuring the knives. 



THE HANDSOMEST made, being finished in red, gold and 

 black. 



WARRANTED to give satisfaction and work as represented, 

 witli the privilege of returning any mower that docs not do so. 



AH parts are "interchangeable " ; any piece can be duplicated. 



" GATHERING THE GRASS."— It is the custom in this coun^ 

 try to leave the cut grass on the ground to protect the roots from 

 the sun. This cut grass also acts as a mulch or fertilizer, and is, 

 as a rule, the proper thing to do. Yet conditions sometimes occur 

 Avhere it is desiralile to gather the grass. We now make all the 

 " Henderson " Lawn Mo^vers so tliat a grass-gathering apparatus- 

 can be applied to them at any time. It can be easily adjusted, and 

 does the work perfectly. 



TERRACE IRON.— By removing the handle of the mower and 

 hooking the "terrace iron " into the holes just over the back wooden 

 roller, the mower works splendidly on terraces sufficiently steep.
