What reading level is The Garden At Home book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is not one of the plants I have named that does not look best in the company of its fellows. Plants are con- servative in that they are most attractive when disposed with others of their kind a Daisy path, a field of Wild Orchis, a woodland walk with Bluebells bordered all these are perfect in their way, but mix them up, and what disaster, what incongruity ! So, too, with cultivated plants.
I have never had the inclination to count the number of kinds of plants, " dot " plants, groundwork... plants, corner plants, edging plants, and all the rest of them that go to make up one of those mixed borders that are so popular in public parks and gardens. I wish that I had filled a page of my notebook (it would have needed quite a page to enumerate them) that I might now expose the strange mixture, accentuate the hopeless incon- gruity. Alas ! I have missed an opportunity. Let me put in a plea for the simple way of growing flowers, the way that is within the reach of everyone. If you must have a bed of Geraniums, by all means do so ; but rather than dot it here and there with the graceful Acacia, or the handsome-leaved Ricinus, or the silvery-leaved Artemisia, let the Geraniums have a flower bed to them- 73 THE GARDEN AT HOME selves, and let the others have also a bed to themselves.
