What reading level is Origin of Cultivated Plants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PLANTS CULTIVATED FOR THEIE FRUITS. 247 flasks for wine were made, which can only apply to this species.
It does not appear that the Arabs were early ac- quainted with it, for Ibn AlawS.m and Ibn Baithar say nothing of it.^ Commentators of Hebrew works attri- bute no Jiame to this species with certainty, and yet the climate of Palestine is such as to popularize the use of gourds had they been known. From this it seems to me doubtful that the ancient Egyptians possessed this plant, in spite of a... single figure of leaves observed on a tomb which has been sometimes identified with it.^ Alexander Braun, Ascherson, and Magnus, in their learned paper on the Egyptian remains of plants in the Berlin Museum,* indicate several Oucurbitacese without mentioning this one. The earliest modern travellers, such as Rauwolf,* in 1574, saw it in the gardens of Syria, and the so-called pilgrim's gourd, figured in 1539 by Brunfels, was probably known in the Holy Land from the Middle Ages.
All the botanists of the sixteenth century give illus- trations of this species, which was more generally culti- vated in Europe at that time than it is now.
