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 materials. 
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 GOO lbs.; tracks, 24 inches; diameter of drums, 24 inches; counterbalanced handle, stands 
erect when not in use. Price, $26.00. 
The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn is inestimable — and the heavier the 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 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 are of our improved design, will not break and are counterbalanced so they 
always keep up from the ground, clean and out of the way.

THE APOLLO ROTARY LAWN SWEEPER. 
A thoroughly satisfactory machine for sweeping the lawn after mowing. The 
sweeper gives you a perfect lawn as soon as the sweeping is finished instead of looking 
gray for several days owing to the withered cut grass. If the sweeper and lawn 
mower are run in opposite directions, the lawn will be the same shade of color all 
over. It gathers up and throws 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. 
Prices, 20-in. sweep, $10.00; 28-in. sweep, $12.00. 
PHILADELPHIA HORSE LAWN SWEEPER. 
A revolving brush in front sweeps the sod clean and

40 inches wide. Price, S70.00.
