What reading level is The English Flower Garden With Illustrative Notes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hunt, he has had to repeat the same lesson, that plants that grow are pleasanter objects than flowers that are gathered. And, indeed, the reason is not far to seek. A bunch of garden-roses thrown carelessly down upon a mossy bank — and there is scarcely an exhibition without one — not only gives one a feeling of incongruity (as though the fashionable flowers were out at a picnic), but a stronger feeling still of coming death. We know those roses must wither and die, almost, we fancy, as 70 THE ...ENGLISH FLOWER GARDEN.
we look upon them. No dew that falls can now keep them alive, as it will the humble moss — so much better than they — on which they rest. And it is almost worse when the poor gathered flowers are brought indoors and placed in some blue jar or Salviati vase, and the artist shows how care- fully he can draw, not so much the petals of the flowers as the texture of the porcelain or the iridescence of the glass. It is difficult enough worthily to paint the light and glow of colour in any beautiful flower, but, if it is to be painted, let it be when the plant is still growing, and as it grows.
