What reading level is The Rock Garden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By first dig- ging up the existing soil, adding grit, gravel, old mortar or the like to afford increased drainage, and bringing into position a few barrowsful of garden soil, a mound will be formed equivalent to the soil bank of the larger erection. Then, when forming the receptacles — ^' pockets " — for the plants take care that their bases remain open, so that through the crevices or fissures thus formed the roots of the plants will have a chance of getting away. In these and in other ways th...e town rockery may be placed on all fours with that of a more pretentious character. Everything, it should be remembered, is being done on a small scale, hence miniature ravines may be constructed for the smaller plants, with snug little bays for many more (Fig. 14).
Natural Rock. — There is, of course, no reason why natural rock should not be employed, and either sand- stone or limestone may usually be had at no g^eat distance. A rockery bed of either, in sun or shade, would have a much prettier effect than the cemented article, though we are not going to deny that even out of this latter the amateur, by reason of his abundant enthusiasm, will obtain a very fair measure of success.
