 M The Henderson Perfect' ' Lawn Mower has been in 

 practical use on the World's Columbian Exposition 

 grounds ever since the lawns were made. It has 

 given entire satisfaction and proved to be a machine 

 of the highest order of perfection, and as regards 

 light running and durability it excels ail others. 

 R. VLRICH, 



Suflt. Landscape Department. 



The sharp competition in Lawn Mowers for 

 the past three years has so reduced prices 

 that, in consequence, the quality of both ma- 

 terial and workmanship hus deteriorated to 

 such an extent that our customers tell us that 

 it is almost impossible to get a Mower that 

 will cut satisfactorily for any length of time, 

 and the many requests for a high-class Mower 

 has induced us to manufacture an entirely 



new Lawn Mower, " The Henderson Per- 

 fect." and we claim for it — and we guaran- 

 tee the claim — that it will prove the most 

 durable of any side-wheel Mower ever manu- 

 factured, being made of best quality new iron,, 

 patent journal boxes and the knives of high 

 grade steel. It will keep sharp, cut well, and 

 last three or four times as long as a cheap. 

 Mower. There ae a'so many details of con- 

 struction essentially different from any other 

 Mower, and which could not be afforded on 

 low-pr ced machines, simply made to sell. 

 For instance, the bottom knife-bar is station- 

 ary, making the frame perfectly rigid; the re- 

 volving cutter works in patent hangers, the 

 cutter being adjusted to the stationary knife. 

 A positive triple ratchet in each end is a 

 grand improvement, giving great strength, 

 and will last as long as the Mower. The 

 gears do not move when the machine is pulled 

 back, thereby saving much friction and wear, 

 and a patent terrace mowing arrangement is a 

 very effective and a valuable addition. The 

 wheels are high (8 inches), enabling the 

 Mower to cut high grass with ease. It is very 

 light-running, noiseless, and leaves the sur- 

 face of the lawn as smooth as velvet. 



We reiterate, that "The Henderson Per- 

 fect," has been made, regardless of expense, 

 to be the best and most durable Lawn Mower 

 ever gotten up; and, although the price is 

 necessarily a little higher than other Mowers, 

 yet it will in the end prove much cheaper, 

 aside from the annoying delays and expensive 

 repairs experienced with cheap Mowers,

HENDERSON'S 



LOW-PRICED "DOORYARD" MOWER. 



There being quite a demand among customers who have but a small lawn 

 or grass plat or dooryard. for a cheap Lawn Mower, we, there- 

 fore, offer a light Mower with one drive wheel, especially made 

 for this purpose. It will cut just as well as a high-priced Mower, 

 and, where used only one hour or two a week ought to last for 

 several seasons. It runs easily, is self-sharpening, and will cut 

 within two inches of a fence. No cha-ge for packing or car- 

 tage. PRICE, 12-inch, $3.00. Weight, 18 lbs.
