What reading level is ... the Apple-Tree book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


But in the case of the apple, we do not want the layer to reproduce the parent, for the parent would probably bear an inferior fruit since it does not represent an "im- proved" or recognized variety; therefore the layer is grafted or budded with the particular variety we desire to grow as a dwarf tree.
Dwarf trees are grown in America, if at all, only in gardens, where extra attention may be given them. Only^ 56 THE APPLE-TREE high-class kinds should be attempted on dwarfs, for the quantity-pro
...duction of commercial apples must be ob- tained by less intensive methods on cheaper lands.
Better fruits often are grown on dwarf than on stan- dards, for two reasons : It is usual to propagate only the best varieties on dwarf stock ; the little tree must receive extra care in pruning and in every other way. Its bushel of apples must be choice, every one, to make the effort of growing the tree worth the while. Under European conditions where land is high-priced and labor has been relatively cheap, it is possible (and common) to raise apples on dwarfs for market, as it is profitable to terrace the hillsides with human labor; but in North America the conditions are practically the reverse and the dwarf tree cannot compete with the standard orchard tree.
