What reading level is The Phantom Bouquet a Popular Treatise On the Art of Skeletonizing Leaves And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The large heads of the common garden hydrangea yield, by maceration, fine prepa- rations, in which each calyx is distinctly and beautifully skeletonized. These are best mounted in little clusters or as single flowers, attached to slender stems, where their extreme lightness can be displayed to the best ad- vantage.
NEXT to the perfection of the tissues, their perfect whiteness is most important. This is best secured by soaking them in a solution of chloride of lime, which may be made with water... alone in a proportion of from one to four ounces of the chloride to the pint. More delicate leaves and calyxes require a weaker solution, than that used for the stramonium and poppy-heads : they are to be bleached in a glass or queensware vessel, and removed in a few hours, or as soon as the requisite brilliant whiteness is reached, then washed off with clear water and laid away to be mounted.
Some sprigs of broom-corn, and the delicate petioles or leaf-stalks which have been sepa- rated from the leaves in skeletonizing, should also be bleached, as they will be needed sub- sequently in mounting the specimens.
