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 

 til II i 11 is . ; r ra< ks, 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 on the lawn is inestimable — and the heavier the rollet 

 the better. Freezing and thawing causes sod-ground to heave, also too liberal watering with force 

 waslws soil from the roots oj 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 Kolle 



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 arc 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.

The Henderson Putting Green Roller. 



A roller especially made to meet requirements in rolling both grass and clay 

 " Putting Greens." It is used and endorsed by the green keepers of some of 

 the best golf courses in the United States. 



The roller is four feet wide, having four 12-inch sections 10 inches in diameter 

 made of turned rock maple, the ends of each section being banded with steel to 

 prevent splitting. The entire face surface is very true, leaving no ridges or 

 indentations on the " green." The width is sufficient to go over the green 

 quickly, and the weight, 150 lbs., just right for one man. It turns without scrap- 

 ing the green. This roller is also useful when making up vegetable garden beds 

 firming the soil, both before and after seeding. Price, $16.00. 



One and Two- Horse Sheet Steel Rollers. 



For Lawns, Drives, Walks and Grounds of Golf, Athletic and Country Clubs. 



Unbreakable sheet steel drums, steel felloes and spokes; steel axle, working in 

 Babbitted boxes which are recessed and filled with cotton waste which, when 

 soaked with oil, will lubricate the journals the whole season, resulting in the 

 lightest draught, smoothest and most noiseless working Roller on the market. 

 Additional weight may be added to suit requirements.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ROTARY LAWN RAKE. 



This is virtually a revolving lawn comb, having flexible steel wire teeth which go between 

 the blades of grass and comb out all dead grass, crab grass, leaves sticks and other rubbish. 

 It leaves the grass standing upright. The action of the revolving rakes raises creeping crab 

 grass and other low growing weeds so the lawn mower may cut them before going to seed, 

 thus effectually ridding the lawn of annual weeds. Dumpable collecting boxes. (See cut.) 

 Price, 24-inch machine, $16.00. (Weight, packed for shipment, 90 lbs.) 



THE APOLLO ROTARY LAWN SWEEPER. 



A thoroughly satisfactory machine for sweeping the surface of the lawn after mowing 

 It gathers into the large collecting box all cut grass, leaves, small stones, sticks, etc. ; nothing 

 escapes. When the box is full it is quickly dumped by pulling a cord. It works something 

 like a carpet sweeper, having revolving flexible fibre brushes. It can be set low or high, 

 as desired. It is simple, strong, and easily pushed by a man or boy, leaving the lawn in 

 beautiful condition, clean, bright and green. While essentially a lawn sweeper, yet it is 

 equally valuable for sweeping walks, stables, warehouses, etc., for which rubber-tired 

 wheels can be supplied at an extra cost. * 



Price, 20-inch sweep, $10.00; 28 inch sweep, $12.00. 



PHILADELPHIA HORSE LAWN SWEEPER. 



A revolving brush in front sweeps the sod clean and throws the sweepings backward 

 into a large box in the rear. This box can be dumped without stopping. Sweeps 40 

 inches wide. Price, $70.00.
