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 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 ma- 

 terial. 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 in use. Price, $28.00. 



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

 leaving the lawn full of bad spots. A lawn on 

 which a roller is used is never troubled with 

 moles. 



Henderson's Superior Iron Hand Roll 



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 counterbalanced so they will 

 always keep up from the ground, clean and out of the way. v 



From 300 to 500 lbs. 

 is the weight chosen 

 for one-man power for 

 average level lawns. 

 Remember that the 

 heavier the roller used 

 on your lawn the finer 

 sward you will have. 



Weight Boxes can 

 be supplied on any 

 roller larger than num- 

 ber 3, at an extra 

 price as quoted.

The 'Velvetlawn" Seeder. 



A VALUABLE NEW MACHINE FOR SEEDING NEW LAWNS 



Also for renovating worn out lawns and bad spots Puts the Seed IN old sod 

 Or IN Newly Prepared Ground, Covers and Rolls It. 



The " Velvetlawn " Seeder is a val- 

 uable new machine for seeding new 

 lawns and double valuable for reno- 

 vating worn out lawns and bad spots 

 in Greens, Tennis Courts, etc., without 

 redigging or plowing, and without 

 marring the surface. It puts the seed 

 IN newly prepared ground or IN old 

 sod — the seed is distributed very 

 evenly in any desired quantity — wind 

 or no wind, not too thick in some 

 places and two thin in others. In new 

 ground or soft turf it is easily operated 

 by one man but in old hard sod it may 

 require another person to pull. The 

 revolving discs cut narrow trenches 

 the seed being sown in it and immedi- 

 ately behind the discs. There are 

 eight of these discs with their ac- 

 companying seed spouts. These sow 

 2 inches apart — putting the seed in at 

 any desired depth thus the machine 

 sows a strip 16 inches wide as fast as a 

 man can walk. It will sow and cross 

 sow an area 50 x 150 feet in thirty 

 minutes, a little roller follows each 

 seed spout thus pressing the soil back 

 and covering the seed. As each disc, 

 seed spout and roller work individually 

 I they therefore adapt themselves to the 

 inequalities of the ground — insuring a 

 perfectly even stand of grass. 

 The " Velvetlawn " Seeder, in addition to sowing grass and clover seed, is 



also admirably adapted for drilling all small seeds such as Onions, Radish, 



Lettuce, Carrot, Etc. 



" Velvetlawn " Seeders will also sow alone Dry Ground Sheep Manure, Dry 



Bone Meal, Dry Screened Wood Ashes and Dry Gound Lime. Puts them 



in the ground where they will do the most good. 

 Price, net, $20.00. 

 We can also supply a Velvetlawn, one horse power Grass and Clover Seeder.
