The Henderson Patent Water Ballast Roller. 
I 
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 
’ he; " ' * ' ” 
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. 
Ihese 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 
tenal. 1 hey 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 
oOO 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 on the lawn is inestimable—and the heavier the roller 
the belter, breezing and thawing causes sod-grourui to heave, also too liberal watering with force 
washes soil from the roots oj the grass—in either 
event, if the sod is not pressed doivn, 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 Rollers. 
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 keeD ud 
from the ground, clean and out of the way. * p 
Prom 800 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.
