Scythes
For mowing under trees, round shrubs, and on sloping banks and in places where the mowing machine cannot be used, Scythes are requisite; they may also, of course, be used for lawns, but are far inferior to a machine. The ordinary form of Scythe and handle answers very well, although workmen who have been accustomed to cut long grass cannot at first succeed in properly cutting lawns. The two projecting handles should be regulated for, or by, each person who intends using the Scythe, as it is generally necessary to vary their positions to suit individuals.
