'OR TIE GARDEH
THE PENNSYLVANIA ROTARY LAWN RAKE.
THE
Universal Lawn Trimmer.
The latest and best machine for trimming grass
close up to the fence or wall, thus reducing hand
work with shears to a minimum. It will also be
found handy for trimming up around trees, under
bushes, etc. It cuts 6 inches in width. This
Lawn Trimmer is a high-grade machine in
every respect with self-adjusting ball bearings.
Price. $4.50.
The Pennsylvania Rotary Lawn Rake
This is virtually a revolving lawn comb, having
flexible steel wire teeth which go between the
blades of grass and comb out all dead grass, crab
grass, leaves, sticks and other rubbish. It leaves
the grass standing upright. The action of the
three revolving rakes raises up the creeping crab
grass and other low growing weeds so the lawn
mower can cut them before going to seed, thus
effectually ridding the lawn of annual weeds. _ It
has a dumpable collecting box. (See cut.) Price,
24-inch machine, $16.00 (Weight packed for ship-
ment, 90 lbs.) 36 inch machine S25.00.

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 over estimated. 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 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, $25.00.
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
end the handles are of our improved design, will not break and are counterbalanced so they will
always keep up from the ground, clean and out of the way.

around the edges of the flower
beds, walks, roads, etc.; the

work, either on a curved or
straight border, edging ac-

mile an hour, while the hoe
cleans the bottom of walk.
The hoe can be removed if
desired. It is invaluable in
giving a finished appearance
to the lawn. Weighs 26 lbs.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
