Thetechnologyofbeauty

Now,gardeningwasdrivenbythreemaintrends:technologicalchange,plantprospectingandfashion.Ofthese,themostimportantwastechnology,whoseadvancesmadeitpossibleforthemiddleclassestoenjoywhathadoncebeenaffordableonlytotheveryrich.

Themostdramaticexampleofpopularizingtechnologywassurelytheinventionofthelawnmower.Nothingwasmorelabour-intensive,inthe18thcentury,thanmaintainingalargelawn.Itwouldtakethreemenwithscythes(大镰刀)awholedaytocutanacre(two-fifthsofahectare)ofgrass;theywouldbefollowedbylawnwomenwhosetaskwastogatherupthecuttings.
