What reading level is Indigenous Timbers of the Cape book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Cape Government creosotes an average of 100, 000 Yellow- wood sleepers yearly for use on the railways. The old buildings in Cape Colony, Natal and the Transvaal were commonly constructed of sawn Yellow-wood.
It is found throughout the belt of heavy evergreen forest that oceurs at intervals along the coast mountains that encircle South Africa, rising in altitude as the latitude decreases, from the southern coast to the Drakensberg of Natal and the mountains of the N. E. Transvaal. Yellow-woo...d has the virtues and vices of other timbers of its class, of which the New Zealand Kauri and Rimu are examples. Yellow -wood is not too nard to be easily sawn and worked ; it is of even structure and makes an excellent flooring board. But it is liable to crack and warp, not tough, and being non-resinous very perishable out-of-doors unless impregnated.
As a forest tree, Yellow-wood is slow-growing, shade-bearing, and with a fair natural reproduction. Little planting has been done, as far more valuable timbers such as Cedar can be produced for the cost of growing Yellow- wood : but Yellow-wood is carefully con- served and reproduced naturally in the forests that are systematically managed, and young trees are produced naturally in sufficient abundance to ensure an increase rather than diminution of the supply of these useful trees.
