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 



mside 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, 

 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 m use. Price, $28.00. 



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

 better. Freezing and thawing causes sod-ground 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, leav- 

 ing 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 

 »o they will not pick up and carry lumps of earth; the axles are of steel; the sections fit closely and the 

 bandies are of our improved design, will not break and are counterbalanced so they alwavs keep up 

 from the ground, clean and out of the way.
