THE “HENDERSON ” 
WATER BALLAST ROLLER. 
(PATENT APPLIED FOR.) 
T HE advantages of a Roller, the weight of which can be increased or lightened at plea¬ 
sure, can scarcely be overestimated. Oiten 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 the Henderson Water Ballast Boiler one can secure any 
weight desired, between 280 and 000 pounds, 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 
grounds, roads, walks, etc. (See cut.) Price, Henderson’s Water Ballast Steel Roller, twenty-four inches 
wide in t wo sections, twenty-four inch diameter, weighing 280 lbs., loads to GOO lbs., $25.00. 
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. 
But the Henderson Water Ballast Roller has other important merits : As 
a larger diameter lightens the draft, our roller drums, being of cold rolled 
sheet steel, are made twenty-four inches in diameter (six feet circumference), 
and are still lighter than cast-iron drums twenty inches in diameter (five 
feet circumference); in consequence, the Henderson Water Ballast Roller 
pullsfully twenty per cent, easier than a cast-iron Roller of equal weight, and 
being in two sections, it handles easily and turns without rubbing the grass. 
The superiority of our Roller is especially pronounced when rolling moist, 
pliable ground, when rolling is most effective, as the steel drums are smooth 
and will not gather soil or grass, and, besides, there is no danger of a stone 
punching a hole through the face, as sometimes happens with cast Rollers. 
The axles are steel shafting working in lathe-bored journals, making the 
Roller almost noiseless; the handle is counterbalanced and stands erect 
when not in use; the sections fit closely and are perfectly round—in fact, it 
is a perfect Roller, and does perfect work on lawns, tennis courts, golf

Henderson’s 
“MODEL” 
Hand Lawn 
SWEEPER. 
DeslgntHl for use 
on lawns, small 
parks, tennis 
courts, etc. Tho 
brush revolves 
very rapidly, 
throwing the litter backward from its under surface. Immediately behind the brush, and parullel with 
it, a thin shoe passes along over the ground, with its upi>er surface inclined. 
The operation involves the principle of “dust-pan aud broom.” In addition to this, the revolving 
brush creates a strong current of air that blows the litter back into the rear of the hopper. If sticks, 
stones or leaves are encountered, the shoe does not allow them to pass under it, but provides a passage 
over it into the hopj>er. 
The revolving brush is pressed against the ground, allowing the machine to be used on clipped and 
undipped lawns, over rough or smooth ground. The machine does nice, clean work. It does not tear 
the Rod nor dig up the earth like a rake, but leaves the grass clean and velvety. The hopper can be 
dumped or taken out and emptied. It takes only a few minutes to go over a large lawn. (See cut.) 
The machine weighs twenty-eight lbs., is twenty-five inches wide, tweuty-oneiuch brush. Price, $10.00.

icy walks; will also sow damp sand by removing two blades. 
The hopper is 34 inches long and holds one and a half bushels. 
Weight of machine, 83 pounds. It is well made and nicely 
painted. Price, $12.00.
