What reading level is House Plants And How to Grow Them book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
196 HOUSE PLANTS FOR COLOURED FOLIAGE The best small decorative plant for the window garden is the rex begonia. The plants seldom grow more than six inches high; the leaves come directly from the rhizome and are obliquely heart-shaped and all face one way. They are six to eight inches long and of a rich metallic green with a silver band. The original species has been crossed with other species, so that now one can get a variety of shades of green and many different markings. If the win- dow gar...den is large enough, space should be given to three or four different varieties as they will be a source of much pleasure.
Their culture is easy; they delight in a rich soil to which a large portion of leafmould has been added.
I believe that the best specimens of the leopard plant or farfugium {Senecio Kcemp- feri, var. aureo maculatus) I have ever seen have been in window gardens. There is something about them which is always attrac- tive to me. The leopard plant has large leaves — six to ten inches across — of thick, leathery texture, dark green in colour, and blotched with yellow or sometimes with FOLIAGE PLANTS OTHER THAN PALMS I97 white or pink.
