THE BOSS ROLLER SUSS 
Patented February 12 and 19, 1901 
only high-grade lawn roller on the market having a perfectly smooth face and a 
silver finish. 1 he cylinders revolve on steel axles and fit neatly. The outer edges are bev¬ 
eled, thus greatly facilitating the operation of the roller. The cylinders are so geared that, 
when turning, one of the rollers remains in place while the other revolves, enabling the operator to 
work^ in small spaces and turn without danger of tearing up lawn or soil. 
1 hese rollers are balanced with a heavy weight attached to the axle, which not only 
keeps them perfectly level, but holds the handles in an erect position when not in use. The han¬ 
dles are of a new design and well braced, which makes them rigid, durable and extremely neat in 
appearance. We do not hesitate to say that the Boss Roller, Heart Design, .as illustrated here, 
is not only the handsomest roller in the world, but the most durable and best-made roller on 
the market. 
Nothing enhances the value and appearance of a house, whether it be a cottage or a man¬ 
sion, more than a well-kept lawn, and next in importance to preparing and seeding the soil, is 
rolling. All lawns should be mown often and and rolled frequently, if a good, even sward 
is desired. The benefit derived from the use of a roller on the lawn, especially in the spring, 
is not fully understood. The action of cold weather and rains causes the soil to heave, 
and if not firmly pressed back with a roller before the hot weather begins, the grass is liable to be 
killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots.
