LAWNS: Theis Formales aad Cae

HERE is nothing more charming than a well-designed
house surrounded by artistically treated grounds; and of
the essential features of home grounds none is so important

as a beautiful lawn—the rich, velvety turf of the smooth, well-
kept lawn, varying in tones of green with the play of sunlight
and cloud shadows, being the heart and life of all.

“The Tropics may have their delights, but they have not the turf, and the
world without turf is a dreary desert. The Teutonic races all love turf; they
‘emigrate in the line of its growth.”°—CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER.

A lawn may be formed either by laying turf or by sowing
seed. The gain in time by sodding is mostly in anticipation,

an advantage so slight as to scarcely be worthy of considera-.

tion, while the results obtained by both methods are not to be
compared. Sods, no matter how carefully cut and closely laid,
-often separate, leaving crevices about which the grass dies out
in dry weather; then the grasses that compose a pasture or
roadside sod (generally the kind used for ‘‘sodding’’ lawns) are
mot at all the best sorts for forming a perfect lawn; besides, the
ssmooth, elegant surface, such a desirable feature of a lawn,
cannot be secured by sodding.

~ A perfect and enduring lawn, one of luxuriant richness with
closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, is only created
by sowing a composition of the various kinds of grass seeds
suited to the conditions and the climate. Several varieties are
needed, that the lawn may be verdure-clad during all seasons,
and the seeds must be sown liberally (at the rate of from four
to six bushels per acre), not only that a lawn may be produced
quickly, but because the kinds of grasses suitable for perfect
lawns are fine-leaved and should take entire possession of the
ground promptly, thus checking the development of weeds, the
seeds of which are in all soils. The coarse pasture and hum-
mock-forming grasses will not produce a finelawn. Good, rich,
deeply worked soil, either of a friable texture or else under-
drained, is as necessary for the production of a perfect lawn as
for garden crops, although most grasses, being accommodating
plants, if they do not get the requisites for best results, will do
their best with whet is supplied them. Early and frequent
mowing and rolling, as well as the liberal application of water
through a lawn sprinter during dry seasons, is one of the secrets
of maintaini ing beautiful green “turt from snow to snow.

1 We not infrequently see, after a dwelling costin
Grading. five, ten, twenty or thirty thousand dollars Ae
erected, that the grounds surrounding it are left to the tender
mercy of some ignorant pretender to grade and put in shape.
The educated, intelligent architect’s duties in many cases end
with the completion of the building, and the ‘‘ garden architect”’
is installed to grade for the lawn; and a common consequence
is that the beauty of the place may be forever marred, for this
matter really in many cases requires as much intelligence and
good judgment as the construction of the dwelling itself. One
of the first conditions for a perfect lawn is that the land
be perfectly drained, either naturally or artificially; if the
subsoil is sand or gravel, so that water can quickly pass
through it, then there will be no need for artificial drains, but
if there is a stratum of adhesive clay for a subsoil, then drains
are indispensable every fifteen or twenty feet. As the forma-
tion of the lawn is the foundation of all subsequent operations,
it is imperative that it be carefully done; for if badly done at
first it cannot be changed or altered, unless to the great detri-
ment of trees or shrubs that have been planted or flower beds
or walks that have been laid out.

The first thing to be done is to get the ground shaped to the
desired grade, taking care in grading that when hills or rocks
are removed, sufficient subsoil is also removed to be replaced
with top soil, so that at least five inches of good soil will over-
lay the whole in all places; and where trees are to be planted
there should be twice that depth of good soil. When the grad-
ing is finished, if the nature of the “ground requires it, drains
should be laid wherever necessary; then the whole should be
thoroughly plowed, a subsoil following in the wake of the com-
mon plow, until it is completely pulverized. A heavy harrow
should then be applied until the surface is thoroughly fined
down; all stones, roots, etc., should be removed, so that a
smooth surface may be obtained. We have used, with great
effect and saving of labor, the ‘‘ Disc Smoothing Harrow,”’’
which fines and ‘levels the land equal to a steel rake; and
wherever large areas are in preparation for lawns, or in fact
for any field culture requiring a fine smooth surface, this im-
plement will be found to be of great value.

Seeding When the seed is sown a light harrow should be
°* again applied, so as to sink the seed one inch or so
in the soil, and after that a thorough rolling given, so that the
surface is made as Smooth and firm as possible. Inthe latitude
of New Yorkthe seed may be sown any time from April to Oc-
tober. If the preparation has been good and the weather is not
very dry and unfavorable, a good lawn will be in evidence in
8 or 10 weeks’ time. Under very congenial conditions, new
lawns are frequently ready for mowing in 6 weeks from sowing.
If sown in the hot months of June and July, a sprinkling of oats
should be sown at the same time, so that the shade given by the
oats will protect the young grass from the sun. Lawns are very
often sown during the early Fall months (September being the
best) with excellent results. On lime soils Kentucky Blue Grass
is sometimes used alone, but for a firm, carpet-like lawn the
““Henderson’’ Lawn Mixture is preferable, as it contains some
grasses which give quick results, and form a good turf the same
year as sown, while a satisfactory turf cannot be established
by using Kentucky Blue Grass alone under two or three years.
For small plots, of course, digging, trenching and raking must
be done instead of plowing, subsoiling and harrowing, and the
surface after sowing should be patted down with the back of a
spade or rolled with a roller.

‘ 2 As a guide for the proper
Quantity of Seed Required. oni ci ccca reyuived
toform a perfect lawn, we may state that onequart of LawnGrass
Mixture is sufficient to thoroughly sow an area 20 feet by 15 feet—
300 square feet—or to cover an acre five bushels will be required.
It should be borne in mind that, in order to produce the best re-
sults, grass seed for lawns should be sown at least twice as thick
as if sown for hay. In fact, if very rapid results are wanted, a
lawn will be much quicker obtained by using one-third more seed
per acre—in a lawn of about an acre in extent, which we made,
six bushels of the ‘‘ Henderson’’ Mixture were sown on the 25th of
April, harrowed well in, then rolled firmly with a heavy iron
roller—the result was that by July 1st, or about sixty days from
the date of sowing, 2 perfect lawn was obtained, having had to
be twice mowed over by machine previous to that date.

Terraces and Slopes. Or Storing Danks it is often

necessary to use sod, as the
rains wash the soil off before the grass seed has time to germi-
nate. It is sometimes even necessary, in sodding very steep
banks, to use pins eight or ten inches in length to pin the sods
in place, to prevent them from being washed down by excessive
rains before the grass roots have had time to fasten in the soil.
In small yards sodding is often done so as to get immediate re-
sults; but in all such cases great care should be taken to see
that the sods used are of the proper quality, otherwise it is much
better to wait a few weeks for the lawn seed to produce the
lawn. The ‘‘Terrace Sod’’ mixture which we offer is composed
of deep-rooting grasses, which, if once established, will hold the
soil and prevent washing, and we advise liberal fertilizing and
seeding so that the grasses may be quickly established.

Shady Lawns When a lawn is much shaded, either in

whole or in part, the shaded portions
should be sown with the ‘‘Shady Nook’? Lawn Grass Mixture,
which is a combination of fine dwarf-growing evergreen varie-
ties, which in their wild or natural state are to be found growing
in the woods or other sheltered or shady spots. Under or in the
immediate neighborhood of large trees fertilizers should be ap-
plied liberally and frequently, for the trees absorb the fertilizer
and impoverish the ground. Ground much shaded is very fre-
quently sour, and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be
covered with moss. In such cases an application of lime raked
into the soil is an excellent corrector and sweetener, but the
moss should be first removed by means of a sharp rake.

sla74 The question of fertilizers for the lawn is an
Fertilizing. important one. If the soil is naturally a deep,
rich loam, it is not indispensable that manure at all be used the
first season of sowing, although in every case it would be an
advantage, and is really essential if the soil is poor or light.
Perhaps the best way to apply well-rotted stable manure is to
spread it thick enough to cover the ground after plowing or dig-
ging, and then harrow or rake it in; though a little more costly,
the best plan to insure permanency for the lawn is to use from
2,500 to 3,000 Ibs. per acre of coarse ground bone (or better still,
about half the above quantity of bone and the other half of
Henderson’s Lawn Enricher), or in that proportion over lesser

areas, the bone decomposes slowly, giving lasting enrichment ;
while the Lawn Enricher gives immediate results, the combi-
nation of these two fertilizers is lasting in effect, insuring a
“velvet lawn,’’ under ordinary circumstances, for six or eight
years without further application of manure.

When the land has not been fertilized before sowing, it is nec-
essary to use some top-dressing of manure each season to keep
up the fertility of the lawn, and nothing is better for this pur-
pose than to spread over it late in the Fall (November or Decem-
ber) well-votted short stable manure enough to partially cover
the surface. On no account should /vesh stable manure be used,
or the lawn will be very apt to be ruined by the introduction of
weed seeds. This should be allowed to remain on until such
time as the grass shows signs of starting in the Spring, when
the rough portion should be raked off and a heavy roller applied,
so that the surface of the lawn be rendered smooth and firm for
the mower. If the top-dressing of we//-rotted stable manure has
been omitted inthe Fall, fine bone dust mixed with finely sifted
wood ashes, in equal parts, may be sown on the lawn about as
thick as sand is usually strewn on the floor, and rolled down, and
we advise that the lawn be rolled several times during the Spring.

4 1 Where very quick results are required, or in
Stimulating. case a lawn is becoming bare or patchy in

spots, caused by wear and tear or otherwise, the grasses may be
forced into a quick growth by applying nitrate of soda at the rate
of 2001bs. peracre. If put oninthe dry state it should be applied
just before a shower, otherwise it is apt to burn the grasses;
but the safer plan is to dissolve one pound of the nitrate in thirty
to forty gallons of water and sprinkle with the solution.

Mowing should be begun in Spring as soon as the grass is
two or three inches high, and continue every seven
or eight days until the cessation of growth in Fall. If the
lawn is gone over with the mower once a week, the clippings
are best left on, as the sun quickly shrivels them up, so that
they never appear unsightly; but if mowing is delayed two or
three weeks, then the grass must be raked off. i

It sometimes happens that ¢he soil contains seeds of perennial
weeds; and such seeds are rarely found in the grass seed, such
as dandelion, dock or thistles, which seriously interfere with the
beauty of the lawn. When this occurs, there is no other remedy
than the slow process of cutting them out with the knife or spud.
Crab grass, known alsoas five-finger grass and summer grass,
is one of the commonest pests to contend with, and is especially
troublesome in dry seasons. Itis, however, only an annual, com-
ing up from seed each year. A mowing machine will not cut off
all the seed stems, for some grow along the ground and bend be-
fore the mowing machine, and the best plan is to loosen it up with
a rake and use the scythe a few times, cutting both ways so as to
get all of the seeding stems. Lawn grass seed should be sown
thickly on these spots and the lawn heavily fertilized in Spring.
The crab grass seed does not usually germinate until warm
weather, and if there is a good healthy turf at that time the seed is
less likely to germinate. We therefore advise, soas to induce a
good healthy growth, that when cutting the grass during May, the
lawn mower be set high so that the grass will not be cut too short.

Rollin The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn,
g. especially in the Spring, is not fully understood. The
action of freezing and thawing causes the ground to heave, and if
it is not firmly pressed back with a roller before hot weather, the
grass is apt to be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare
spots. For useon the lawn always takea ‘‘two or three section’’
roller, asthey can be turned without injuring the grass. A 300-1b.
roller is about as heavy as one man can pull, though a 400-1b.
will be better if you have two persons to operate it.

0 To renovate lawns that have become worn out
Renovating. by neglect or other causes, and where it is not
convenient or desirable to renew by plowing up, they may be
greatly benefited by running a light harrow over, if the surface
is large, or by asharp steel rake for smaller areas. After stir-
ring the surface by such means judiciously, so as not to hurt too
severely the roots, lawn grass should be sown over the surface,
harrowing or raking in about half the quantity advised for new
lawns. After sowing, the surface should be harrowed or raked
over, and firmly rolled or beaten down, but if spurious grass or
other weeds have got possession of the lawn, then this way of
renovation would not be satisfactory, and it had better be plowed
under and sown afresh, in the manner already given for the
formation of the lawn.

THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED.

The ‘“‘ Henderson ’’ Lawn Grass Seed produces a perfect and enduring lawn of luxuirant richness, with closely interwoven, firm,
deep and elastic turf, and it is often ready for cutting in four weeks from time of sowing. This celebrated Lawn Grass is composed
of a thoroughly balanced combination of various native and foreign fine-leaved, deep-rooting grasses of interweaving habit, that
flourish under our varied conditions, soils and climates, growing during different seasons of the year, so that a deep green, smooth,
and velvety sward, free from clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, year after year, and without burning brown in summer, its
constant luxuriance rivaling the famous lawns of Old England.

The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, and also at the World’s Fair in Chicago, were produced in six
weeks’ time with The ‘‘ Henderson ’’ Lawn Grass Seed, which was awarded the highest medal at both Expositions; but what we
prize more than gold medals are the hundreds of letters of praise we have on file from the users of The ‘‘ Henderson ’? Lawn Grass
Seed in almost every State in the Union. Extracts from a few of these we print on pages 3 and 4.

The ‘‘ Henderson ’’ Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because, while other lawn grass mixtures
on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this weighs 20 lbs. per measured bushel. It is also the Purest, Cleanest
and Heaviest lawn grass seed ever offered and it is absolutely free from weed seeds.

We have made the formation of lawns a study for years, and thousands of the finest lawns and grass plots in America were
obtained by following our instructions and using The ‘‘ Henderson ’’ Lawn Grass Seed.

LAWN GRASS SEED.

On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots
under the shade of trees, which have baffled all ef-
forts to get into grass, but with this mixture there
need be no further difficulty. It is a combination
of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties, which in
their wild or natural state are to be found growing
in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots.
Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is fre-
quently ‘‘ sour,”’ and if the drainage is defective it is
apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses.
In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the
rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or
forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective
and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed
by the use of a sharp rake.

SE SIDE

LAWN GRASS SEED.

Along our sea coast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts with
such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn grasses cannot
be produced. We have so often made up a mixture of special grasses to thrive
under these trying conditions that we have concluded to offer it for the benefit
of others who may be having the same “ trouble in getting grass to grow.’”’ We
do not claim that our ‘‘ Sea Side’”’ lawn grass will make a lawn equaling in fine
velvety texture those produced with the ‘‘ Henderson Lawn Grass Seed.’’ but
our ‘‘ Sea Side’ mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer
grasses are not so likely to thrive, though of course the sand must be top dressed
with not less than 2 inches of soil before even our ‘‘ Sea Side ’’ grass seed is sown,
to enable the young grass to get a start, after which the long roots—peculiar to
the varieties we use in this mixture—drive down deeply in the sand and remain
permanently self-sustaining—if attention is given to sprinkling during dry weather.

The lawns surrounding the Manhattan Beach and Oriental Hotels
illustrated below were made years ago under the exact conditions we
describe above with our special ‘‘ Sea Side’’ Lawn Grass mixture, and
they still remain in beautiful condition, excepting in places where
the salt spray dashes. Use at the rate of 1 quart for 300 square feet;

of territory—approximately from
South Carolina westward (no

the heat and drought of summer
burn out the favorite lawn

ally watered; and yet sections in
this belt are subject to some

That outdoor games are becoming more popular in America every year is eVi-
dent from the frequent applications that we receive from some newly organized
outdoor club for a fine, durable grass. The turf required for these sports must
be closely interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth and durable. These requirements
are met in Henderson’s ‘ Tough Turf ’’ Mixture, which is composed of native
and acclimated foreign fine-leaved, fibrous, deep-rooting grasses, that spread and
intermingle, the seeds of which are blended in the proper proportions to form and
maintain a tough, matted evergreen sward, even in dry weather. These varie-
ties, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a playing
turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be-used for 300 square feet,
or five bushels per acre; half that quantity will do for renovating.

Price, 30c. quart, 4 quarts $1.00, $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel.

_. You will perhaps be pleased to know that our tennis court, made last year by sowing vour ‘ Tough
Turf’ grass seed, was a great success. We commenced mowing it in about 5 weeks, and were playing
on it in 6 weeks’ time, without any apparent injury, as the grass kept thickening up all the time, and 1s
a beautiful bit of turf. We are all delighted.”

“GOLF GOURSDB”
GRASS SEED

We have given much attention to grasses for Golf
Courses. When Golf first became popular, one of our
representatives visited several of the famous Scotch
Links and found that most of the grasses which formed
these Links can be grown here. The Mixtures we
offer below are largely composed of such varieties as
will thrive here with the addition of several equally
fine American varieties, and are the result of experi-
ments conducted on our grounds, as well as careful
watching for several years of the practical results ob-
tained on Golf Courses sown with our grass seeds,
such as the Golf Courses named above, and nearly all
well-known Courses in the United States. By the use
of these Mixtures, and with proper care, the finest
Fair Greens and Putting Greens in the world can be
successfully rivaled, and if conditions are favorable, a
good playing turf may be secured in eight weeks from
time of sowing and lasting indefinitely.

Several members of our establishment are golfers,
and we thoroughly understand the requirements, and
will at all times be pleased to correspond with and
advise Green Committees.

BERMUDA

GRASS SEED.

For Lawn Formation in the Semi:-Tropics.

BERMUDA GRASS is the most ;mportant and valuable grass for lawns in
the extreme South. A well kept lawn of this grass is a refreshing and beauti-
ful sight. It is of low creeping habit, roots from the stem joints and forms a
dense sod. It will grow on almost any soil, thriving best on rich land, but
will also thrive on poor sandy land. In moist climates it will grow in nearly
pure sand, making a good sand binder and bank holder. It revels in the heat
and direct rays of the sun, remaining green through the long tropical and
sub-tropical summers, when any other type of grass adapted for lawns would
burn out. Although Bermuda Grass is especially adapted for lawn formation
in the extreme South, and may be ‘grown as far north as Richmond, Va., and
St. Louis, without being winter killed, yet the further north it is grown the
shorter will be its season of green, as the foliage turns brown after the first frost
and does not “‘ green out’ until after frosts cease in spring. For this reason
in sections subject to frosts an associate winter grass, usually English Rye
Grass, is sown in the fall over the Bermuda Grass lawn after the surface has
been scarified. These two associate grasses thus furnish a green lawn the
year round in the Southern States. For lawn purposes sow 6 lbs. of Bermuda
Grass Seed per acre. It is best sown in the spring, as it germinates best in
warm weather. Price of Seed, 70c. per lb., 100 lbs. @ 60c. per lb.

with Bermuda Grass Seed
and English Rye Grass Seed.

Messrs. P. HENDERSON & Co.:

Gentlemen: I enclose you the details of mv
plan in maintaining a green lawn the year
round tn this climate, where ordinary grasses
burn out in summer. The experiment has
been a success tn every way, and you may
with confidence recommend thts plan to your
Southern customers.

Area 4 acre, sowed the Bermuda Grass
Seed Jan. 31st. Our soil is very light with
clay subsoil. I put tt im good condition,
plowing in 200 Ibs. Cotton Seed Meal
on the 1 acre, sowed the Bermuda Grass
Seed Jan. 31st (6 lbs. per acre). Sev-
eral subsequent rollings with a light roller
had a good effect. On May 4th during
a rain broadcasted 12 lbs. of Nitrate of
Soda over the 1 acre with good results. This Bermuda Grass gave us a first-
class green lawn all summer, it stands mowing and cares for no drought; the first
frost kills it to the ground. October 2d applied a top dressing of rich soil and
cotton seed meal and raked in English Rye Grass Seed 1m the proportion of 50 lbs.
per acre and rolled the ground. The latter grass seed comes up in eight days,
an six weeks tt 1s a mass of green and gives a good lawn all winter; tt dtes out in
May, leaving the ground clear for the Bermuda Grass, the roots of which survive
in the ground here through the winter.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS SEED...

Often used for Lawns on Lime Stone Soils.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. This grass so beautiful and famous in the lime-
stone regions of Kentucky, etc., is so widely advertised as an ideal lawn grass,
that we wish to inform our patrons as to its merits and demerits. Where Blue
Grass thrives it does eventually make a good lawn. However, when used alone
it is slow to thicken up, requiring not less than 2 years to form a thick sward,
and does not hold its color in hot weather; it will not thrive on acid soils and a
large portion of soils in the lower altitudes, especially in the coast states, are
inclined to acidity. Kentucky Blue Grass is quite extensively used for lawns
on the Pacific Coast, but the results of this or any one grass in no way compare
with the beauty and fine velvety texture of lawns made with an intelligently
blended mixture of grasses of neat close interweaving growth, such as compose
the ‘“‘ Henderson '’ Lawn Grass mixture; and besides, the latter will make a
thick, close turf in less than one summer.

For customers who know that Kentucky Blue Grass thrives on their land
and who are satisfied with the slow results, we will state that we furnish the
finest, cleanest, heaviest grade of seed on the market, freed from chaff and
impurities by our elaborate seed-cleaning machinery, Henderson’s Superior
Recleaned Kentucky Blue Grass Seed, weighing 20 to 25 lbs per measured
bushel. 18c. per lb. $13.00 per 100 lbs., per standard bushel of 14 lbs., $2.10.

Henderson's Ideal = Bali-Bearing” Lawn Mower

Will cut a lawn in one-half the time required with old style, narrow-cut Mowers.

THE HENDERSON ‘‘BALL-BEARING’’ LAWN MOWER is superior to all other Mowers in
the following respects: The axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, work in ‘* ball-bear-
ing ’’ journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. These parts are made Of the finest
case-hardened steel, and will last for years, though we have provided against wear should there be any—so
that anyone, by simply loosening one screw and tightening another, can force the cup and balls higher up
the cone-shaped ends of the revolving shaft, thereby taking up all possible wear. This adjustment is so
simple, vet positive, thatit can be set to a hair. Our Mower is also built scientifically correct in other re-
spects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. Thecastingsare lathe-turned and bored, and the
journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no rattle and
play. ‘lhe knives, of the finest steel and temper, are sharp and cut like razors, and will keep so if the under
knife is kept tightened up to the revolving knives; for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and, in con-
sequence, are seli-sharpening.

THE HENDERSON ‘‘BALL-BEARING" MOWER has high drive wheels,
both of which are connected by gearing to the large, open, non-clogging cylinder placed
far enough back to pievent auy “kicking up”’ of tue Mower when it strikes heavy grass.
The spiral of the knives is correctly proportioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the
Jawn as smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other Mowers.
The handles are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of
the Moweris held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with improved ‘‘ grips,”
which keeps the hands in a natural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than a
continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip. We wish to reiterate that our
Henderson “ Ball-Bearing’’ Mower is made without regard to cost—to be the best, most
durable and the easiest-working Mower on the market, and while the prices are necessarily
alittle higher than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove
much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs experienced
with cheap Mowers.

GRASS CATCHERS for the Henderson ‘‘ Ball-Bearing”’’
Lawn Mowers are of superior heavy duck; bottom of galvanized
iron that will not sag nor drag on the ground when filled; they are
quickly attached, removed or dumped.

FOR CUTTING TERRACES, Henderson ‘‘ Ball-Bearing’’
Mower is unequaled; it being a ‘‘train gear’’ Mower, the cutters re-
main close to the sod, without bobbing up and down; consequently,
for cutting terraces it works just as well when the handle is removed.
The ‘‘terrace iron’? is attached to the roller hangers, then a rope is
connected, which allows the operator to stand on the top of the terrace
and guide the Mower. as its momentum carries it down the hill, oper-
ates the knives and cuts the grass, when itis pulled back by the rope
for another swath. Terrace Iron are extra, 6Oc. each.

AND OTHERS TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION.

HESE boots attach to horses’ hoofs to prevent them from cutting into and marring the surface of the lawns, which is very apt to
happen with naked feet when the ground is moist or soft. The leather used in these boots is of the very best quality, and will not
stretch out of shape like that used in cheap boots. The soles are two thicknesses of best sole leather, well riveted together.

The straps draw the upper part of the boot tightly around the average-sized hoof. If boots are wanted for a very large-footed horse, it
should be so stated in ordering, Tall boots that fasten around the Jeg we no longer sell, ior they often chafe the hair off.

FULLY WARRANTED. THE LATEST AND BEST.

Knives can be raised or lowered instantly. Side draught (applicable to either side) keeps horse off uncut grass.
CT is the best horse-power mower manufactured, simple in construction, very durable; nothing but the very best

steel and iron are put in it. Itis quickly adjusted to cut high or low, and the arrangement for throwing lin and

out of gear and for raising the knives when passing over stones, rough places or roads is operated from the seat.
The side draught (applicable to either side) keeps the horse on thecut grass and prevents trampling down that whichis to be
mown. The revolving knives are ‘high speeded,” making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of the lawn as smooth
as velvet. These mowers are fitted with a two-section roller and weigh, exclusive of shafts, 30-inch cut, 445 Ibs.; 35-inch
cut, 490 Ibs.; 40-inch cut, 5401bs.; to this may be added the weight of the man if he rides, thereby rolling the lawn with
a very respectable weight at the same timeitis cutting; or the cutter may be thrown out of gear by the movement of a
lever and the machine be used for rolling alone. The benefit 10 alawn from rolling is not sufficiently appreciated. The
action of freezing and thawing causes the ground to heave; moles and other pests loosen the roots of the grass, and if the
sodis not kept pressed back the grass is apt to be injured or killed, leaving the lawn full of bad spots. Moles will not
trouble lawns where frequently rolled. The most beautiful lawns in this country were improved and are now maintained
with our horse mowers. z

For Lawns, Parks, Golf and Gountry Glub Grounds, &c. | Gan be operated
HIS 1905 Motor Mower is the outcome of several years of experience in the manufacture by anyone capable of running
and use of machines for this purpose. It is a simple, economical, compact, durable an automobile

and low priced motor mower that anyone of ordinary intelligence can run. The
gasolene motor is one of the simplest ever made, absolutely safe, has few parts and all
accessible, the cylinders—water-cooled—are four inches in diameter making a 4-inch stroke,
the fuel to operate costs no more per day that the feed of a horse, and when not in use DOES THE WORK OF
consumes nothing. The lawn mower portion of this machine is practically identical with
the Henderson Horse Mower offered opposite which combined with nine motive power forms TWO HORSE MOWERS.
an invaluable machine for both mowing and rolling lawns. With it the work can be done
twice as fast, or in other words, one motor mower will do the work of at least two horse

mowers. The motor mower is easily handled, the movement of a lever instantly starts. The motor can be utilized for
stops or backs it and it is as quickly and easily guided and can be turned completely about o
in the space of 6 feet. It can be run close to shrubbery, trees and walls cutting within 6 various Purposes.

inches of them, 1t will mow up to a 10% grade and cannot be upset. The knives
can be stopped and started while the machine is in motion, they are speeded
high and will cut taller grass than any lawn mower, and can be set to cut as
high from or close to the ground as desired, the floating character of the
cutting mechanism adapts itself to the contour of the lawn leaving the
surface smooth and free from corrugations and no hoof prints are left in
moist or soft sod.

As a Motor Roller it is almost as valuable as for mowing, for any
lawn is greatly improved by frequent rolling if the weight is sufficient,
and the weight of these machines with operator is just about right,
though when soil is dry and hard, an extra load of stone or iron may
be carried. When used exclusively for rolling, the cutting mechanism
may be quickly elevated out of the way. The whole machine only
occupies a space about 4x 5 feet.

A horse-power machine for cutting sod inlongstrips; an important and
valuable implement for golf grounds, parks and other places which have
much 80d laying or repairing to do. It cuts the sod of uniform width and
thickness, in any length, so that itis particularly adapted to giving solidity
to slopes in cuts and onembankments, working equally well on level or un-
even surface, cutting both ways with the land, and leaving no sod uncut,
being light of draft, easily managed, strong, neat and durable. It is thebest
and cleanest sod-cutting machine in America. Has a REVERSIBL® KNIFE
made of one piece ofsteel. While one side dulls, the oppositeedge isgetting
sharpened; cannot getchoked. An Adjustable Roller regulates the thickness
of the sod from one-halfinch to two inches; the front roller swings back
under the guide-shoeand takes the weight when the machineis not cutting.
The guide-shoecan bechanged to eithersidein a minute; nofriction orinjury
to the grass. The knife can be cleaned without turning over the machine.
One machine willcut from 30,000 to 40,000 square feet per day, thus doing
the work of forty men ; theexpense saved betweencutting by handand with
* horse power in one day to pay the price of our machine. Instructions for
operating furnished with every machine. Price, $25.00.

The Apollo Rotary Lawn Sweeper.

A thoroughly satisfactory machine for sweeping the lawn after mowing.
It gathers up and throwsinto thelargecollecting box all cut grass, leaves,
small stones, sticks, ete.; nothingescapes. 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,
ete., for which rubber-tired wheels can be supplied at an extra cost.
Prices, 20-in. sweep, $10.00; 28-in. sweep, $12.00.

GOLD MEDAL SUB-SOIL PLOW.

Deep preparation of soil in laying down new lawns is one of the elements insuring a
good aaa especially during hot dry weacher. Of course the sub-soil must not be
brought to the surface. By following the plow with a sub-soil plow the hard pan can
be broken to a depth of from 15 to 20 inches, giving roots a wider range for food, and
the grass is less susceptible to the effects of excessive drought or a wet season, as the
deep soil absorbs all the rain like a sponge and gradually gives off moisture during dry,
hot weather. The ‘‘Gold Medal” involves new principles and accomplishes the work
without throwing any sub-soil on top. Its merits are ease of penetration, light draft,
superior pulverization of hard pan, perfection of the ‘‘mole track” effect. The one-
horse plow will reach to a depth equal to the height of its standard— 15 to 16 inches—
and the two-horse plow to the depth of 20 inches.

The blade is 514 feet long by 14 inches in width, and as the fenders prevent the
earth from escaping at the ends of the blades, the capacity of this machine for
moving earth is much greater than that of other scrapers of equal blade area.
The lightness of draft in view of the amount of earth moved is accounted for by
the smooth, even cut with which it gathers its load and the fact that the load is
in a measure borne by the wheels.

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.

HENDERSON’S
IRON HAND
ROLLER.

The weights given are actual, which fact should be taken into
consideration in comparing prices with rollers of manufacturers
that run 15% to 25% less than advertised weights.

The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn is inesti-
mable. Freezing and thawing causes the ground to heave, andif
not firmly pressed back with a roller before hot weather, the grass
is apt to be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots.
A lawn on which a roller is frequently used is never troubled with
moles.

From 300 lbs. to 500 Ibs. 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.

WEIGHT BOXES (cee illustration) can be supplied on any
roller larger than number 3, at an extra price according to
the size of roller, as quoted in column to the right. The weight
box weighs about 50 lbs. and may be loaded with stone or iron
to any desired weight.

or Lightened
at Will.

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 remov-
ing 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 galvan-
ized, 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 dur-
able. 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 with equivalent weight.

HENDERSON’S “GEM” SPRAY

Clamps to the chine or side of any barrel, but is made particularly for
our Water Barrel and Truck outfits, offered on page 22. The ‘‘Gem”’’ is
intended to fill a want for alow-priced pump. It has not the power or
capacity of the larger and more expensive spray pumps, but where there
are only a few trees, bushes, vines, etc., to be treated, it will answer ad-
mirably for both applying insecticides and fungicides, and by altering
the nozzle it is adapted for sprinkling walks, watering flower-beds,
washing windows, carriages, etc. The pump can -be quickly removed
from the barrel. c

Attach the torch to the end of a pole
of suitable length; saturate with kero-
sene oil, light and hold under the cater-

instantly destroys the insects and will
in no way injure the tree. Price, with-

HENDERSON’S

4-Arm Lawn Sprinkler
(with Ball and Basket
attachment. )

AWNS need an abundance of water
to enable their rich luxuriance to
Ie be maintained during hot dry
weather. If the soil was originally
prepared very deep, to induce deep
root action, the necessity for artificial wa-
tering is less pronounced, but lawns intelli-
gently laid down in this manner are in the
minority in this country. It is therefore
advisable on lawns with the average thin
turf to water or ‘‘sprinkle”’ frequently. In
such cases, a good lawn sprinkler is a nec-
essary adjunct, being far superior to a hose
nozzle—the latter usually throws too strong
astream, eventually washing the earth from
the grass roots leaving them exposed to the
injurious effects of the hot sun thus causing
the grasstoburnup. Withalawnsprinkler
the same flow of water is broken up and
uniformly distributed over a large area in
the form of fine gentle rain, thoroughly sat-
urating the ground covered without any in-
jurious washing
The ‘‘Water Witch’’ sprinklers work
under a very low pressure better than any
other sprinklers we know of. Allsprinklers
are fitted to attach to the regulation ?-inch
bore garden hose.

We are frequently asked if a tank or
pond of water at a certain elevation will
work a lawn sprinkler. The following
rule is applicable to all such cases, Viz.:
Water at every foot of elevation gives half
a pound pressure. The force to work a
sprinkler requiring 20 lbs. pressure, the
tank or body of water would have to be
elevated 4o feet, etc.

HENDERSON’S (“*’iex*"?) LAWN SPRINKLERS.

The most popular lawn sprinkler made. Itcan be attached to hose and placed anywhere
on the lawn, where it serves the double purpose of a beautiful fountain and of thoroughly
saturating the grass or garden. The water is distributed in fine drops over an area of 60 to
100 feet in circumference, according to the pressureon the water. Anornamental standard,
about four feet high, is surmounted with long perforated arms, which revolve, so the beauti-
ful sprays areconstantlychanging. Prices: fora4-arm sprinkler, $3.00;foran 8-arm, $3.50.

BALL and BASKET. This fits on top of the Henderson Sprinkler, and the
stream of water keeps the silvered ball dancing on its summit upin the air. When the ball
falls the basket catches it, and it rolls into the centre and is again raised by the water.
Price, $2.75 extra.

COMMON SENSE LAWN SPRINKLER.

There are no moving parts to get out of order, no arms to get bent, stopped up, etc.
The Sprinkler may be cleaned in a moment, should it become choked; by simply loosening
the nut, the force of water will drive out any dirt that has accumulated.

In use the most beautiful water effect is produced, there being a large umbrella spray,
very fine, as well as jets nearly upright; these jets not only add to the beauty of the foun-
tain, but by falling upon the umbrella spray break it up more and dash the water over all
parts of the large circle. The parts all being rigid, there is little loss of pressure.

While the area covered is very large, yet the spray is so fine that comparatively little
water is used; not only this, but the spray being very fine, the sunshine produces most
beautiful rainbow effects.

_ The diameter of the circle will vary with the pressure ; good to heavy pressure will wet a
circle 20 to 30 feetin diameter. Price, $1.25 each.

“WATER WITCH”
x LAWN 2
SPRINKLER.

An effective device for sprinkling lawns, gardens
or flower beds. The water flows with unimpeded
force, and is divided and deflected by the two lips of
the swivel piece, which it causes to revolve rapidly,
scattering the water in fine drops and evenly over a
circular area of 25 to 40 feet diameter. It works
more satisfactorily with a very low pressure of water
than any sprinkler we know of.

Price, without stand (i.c., with spur to stick in
the ground (see cut)), 50c. each; by mail, 60c. each.

Henderson’s ‘‘ Siamese’? Lawn Sprinkler Attachment.

By using these several
sprinklers can be

operated at one time,

Providing the pressure and
volume of water are sufficient.
A three-quarter inch hose and
thirty to forty pounds pres-
sure will operate three sprink-
lers; a forty to fifty pound
pressure, four sprinklers; with
one inch hose and a good pres-
sure, six sprinklers can_ be
operated satisfactorily. This
method of watering is valuable
for thoroughly saturating large areas of lawn or garden, distributing the water more evenly and thoroughly than
y can possibly be done with a hose nozzle. ee ‘

““ SIAMESE ”" We found the ‘‘ Water Witch " Lawn Sprinkler (with spur to stick in the ground), offered above, the best sprinkler
ATTACHMENT. Y for the purpose. One of these sprinklers and the ‘‘ Siamese "’ was applied at the end of every twenty-five foot length
of hose. Price, “‘ Siamese '’ Attachment for } inch hose, 60c. by mail, 70c.; for 1 inch hose, 75c., by mail, 85c.

The “ Travelling” Lawn Sprinkler.

A lawn sprinkler on three wheels and under an ordinary pressure of water,
will roll itself slowly and steadily in any direction, either in a straight line or in
a circle of any diameter desired. It can be set to travel anywhere from 15 to
500 feet per hour, as preferred. Can be changed from the lowest to the highest
speed ina moment. It can be gauged to throw the water over a swath any-
where from 5 to 50 feet in width. It can be used as a stationary sprinkler by
throwing it out of gear. With a pressure of water as low as 20 pounds it will
drag 75 feet of hose, while with a pressure of 60 to 70 pounds it will carry 200
pounds extra weight and drag as many feet of hose. It works to perfection—
in fact, doing the work more thoroughly and in less time than a person could
do it, and needs less attention. The Travelling Sprinkler even when stationary
is equal to all others. Price, $14.00. :

TO OPERATE :—The for-

knee should assist in
pushing the trimmer (as

year afterwards, thus saving an immense amount of labor in hoeing, etc. For brick walls it is a boon. Its application is easy,
being in a liquid form and “only requiring to be mixed with water and applied with a watering can or sprinkling cart. If the

ground is very dry it should first be sprinkled with clear water so the Weed Destroyer will not soak away too quickly. Where
large weeds and docks are to be destroyed it is best to mow or chop‘off the tops first. Full directions for use with each package.

160 pages, 934x12 inches; 340 photographic illustrations,

ICTURESQUE GARDENS”

(Ornamental Gardening Illustrated),

By CHARLES HENDERSON.
Price, $2.50, post-paid.

The pictur-

esque, the natural and the gardenesque adornments are reflected in over three hundred magnificent photographic
illustrations from nature—many of these views are 5x7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they are grouped and

printed in a most artistic manner on heavy-coated paper, with just enough text matter to describe the view and name the plants,
vines, trees and shrubs needed to produce a similar effect or design.

Te unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, lawns and gardens of Europe and America.

“To say this is one of the most useful and beautiful
works of the times on practical landscape gardening is no
more than due to Mr. Henderson. There are several hun-
dred illustrations of beauty spots in large and small gar-
dens that afford admirable hints for those who would
make beauty where plainness only ruled before.”

‘ ; MEEHAN’S MONTHLY.

“T have received ‘ Picturesque Gardens,’ with which T
am much pleased, having, from it, received many valua-

ble hints as to the beautifying of a place of seven acres, |

on which was some bog land that I did not knowwhat to
do with. It is a handsome and valuable book, and one
which I appreciate for its practicability.”

J. T. BULLARD, Mt. Lake Park, Md.

“This is a notable book, both for the variety and ex-
cellence of its photographie illustrations and as a prac-
tical contribution to the growing love of Americans who
delight in making the surroundings of their homes beau-
tiful, etc.” THE CONGREGATIONALIST.

“To say that Iam pleased with your book,‘Picturesque
Gardens, is stating it lightly. It is a magnificent work
of art, a valuable guide to the gardener, carrying one, as
it were, through the world’s beautitul gardensand suggest-
ing, trom time to time, beautiful effects in plant grouping
and coior blending.’ JOHN COCHRAN,

Gardener to Mrs. J. E. Addicks, Claymont, Del.

“The book will be found of the greatest assistance to
those whose mission is to make home surroundings beau-

tiful, etc.” THE FLORISTS’ EXCHANGE,
Hinew'soox, “‘ Picturesque Gardens,”

There are in this country many lawns, gardens and grounds which the
owners would improve and embellish, but they do not know exactly what they
want, what would look well nor how to go about it, and it is for the benefit of
such that we have prepared this book, for, although there are countless works of
exhaustive precept on landscaping and gardening, there have been none issued so
rich with illustrations of example. In it we force no particular styles or fashions,
but describe and picture such a great variety of lawn and garden creations that
some fruitful suggestions must be found adaptable to the environment of every
home, whether pretentious or modest.

Those who are fond of improving and embellishing their gardens, lawns and
grounds, or who are planning new ones, will get many valuable ideas from this
beautiful book.
