The Henderson Patent Water Ballast Roller. 
1 he 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. Ihe inside being heavily galvanized, it will last for years. 
lhese are perfect rollers, and do perfect work on lawns, tennis courts, golf grounds, 
roads, walks, etc. 1 hey are high grade in every respect, being carefully manufactured of 
best material. 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 
600 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 laivn is inestimable—and the heavier the roller 
the better. Freezing and tlyawing 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 laiun 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 will always keep up 
irom the ground, clean and out of the way.

The Henderson Putting Green Roller. 
_ A roller especially made to meet requirements in rolling and keeping in good con¬ 
dition 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, keep it level, and 
the weight, 150 lbs., just right for convenience in handling by one man and yet ef¬ 
fective for rolling. It turns readily without scraping the green. This roller is also 
very useful for firming the soil, when making up vegetable garden beds both belore 
and after seeding. Price, $16.00.
