What reading level is The American Orchardist Or a Practical Treatise On the Culture And Management book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As the insects rise in the fall, I determined to put the lime on in autumn. For this purpose I had the turf dug in around sixty apple trees, and the earth laid smooth. I then took three hogsheads of effete or air-slacked lime, and strewed it an inch thick WF FRUIT TREES. 93 round my trees, to the extent of about two or three feet from the roots, so that the whole diameter of the opening was from four to six feet. I tarred these trees as well as the others, and although I had worms or grubs on m...ost that were not limed, I did not catch a single grub where the trees were limed. I do not mean to speak with confidence ; I am, however, strongly encouraged to believe the remedy perfect. It was ascertained by professor Peck, that the insect seldom descended into the ground at a greater distance than three or four feet from the trunk, and to the depth of four inches, or that the greater part come within that distance. The lime is known to be destructive to all animal substances, and I have little doubt that it actually decomposes and destroys the insect in the chrysalis state ; at least, I hope this is the case.
