What reading level is Nature's Garden : With Many Color Illustrations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Darwin, who fed these leaves with various articles, found that they could dissolve matter out of pollen, seeds, grass, etc. ; yet without a human caterer, how could a leaf turn vegetarian ? When a bit of any undesirable substance, such as chalk or wood, was placed on the hairs and excited them, they might embrace it tem- porarily ; but as soon as the mistake was discovered, it would be dropped ! He also poisoned the plants by administering acids, and gave them fatal attacks of indigestion by ov...erfeeding them with bits of raw beef !
Other common sundews, the Spatulate-leaved species (D. in- termedia) and the Thread-leaved Sundew (A filiformis), whose purplish-pink flowers are reared above wet sand along the coast, possess contrivances similar to the round-leaved plant's to pursue their gruesome business. Why should these vegetables turn car- nivorous ? Doubtless because the soil in which they grow can supply little or no nitrogen. Very small roots testify to the small use they serve. The water sucked up through them from the bog aids in the manufacture of the fluid so freely exuded by the bristly glands, but nitrogen must be obtained by other means, even at the sacrifice of insect victims.
