What reading level is The Great Worlds Farm Some Account of Natures Crops And How They Are Grown book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These crimson tufts are the stigmas, outspread on purpose to catch the grains of pollen as they float by.
Pines, on the other hand, have not only no petals, but no pistil-stalks, and not even stigmas either; all that there is of the pistil being the ovary, which is scale-shaped and open, so that the pollen falls directly upon the ovules within it. As the ovules develop into seeds and grow, the scales that bear them grow also, and ripen into fir-cones.
Pollen which has to be carried by the wind ...is light, dry and powdery, and is produced in very large quanti- 14 2IO The Golden Rule for Flowers ties to allow for the unavoidable waste. It is carried far and wide, and the air is often filled with it, espe- cially in the neighbourhood of forests. Masses of pine- pollen are often found in America as much as three or four hundred miles away from any trees which could have produced it. Of course, where plants are depen- dent upon the wind for pollen, they are liable to have a great variety of it brought to them ; but this does not hurt them, for unless the right kind comes it simply has no effect whatever.
