What reading level is The Trees of Commonwealth Avenue, Boston book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Between Dartmouth and Exeter Streets the American Elms of the inner rows, standing only twenty feet apart, were already dangerously crowded and were being destroyed by the more vigorous trees of the outer rows. Several of the foreign Elms west of Exeter Street had already died; others were unhealthy, and the unsatisfactory results which the mixing together in formal street-planting of different kinds of trees were becoming more and more evident every year.
Two courses seemed open to the Park Co...mmission, — to let things remain as they were and allow the trees, badly selected, planted too close together in in- sufficient soil, with little chance of surviving for an- other twenty-five years, to die ; or gradually to remove enough trees to make room for a new plantation made with one sort of tree and in a manner to insure for these trees the longest possible life.
If the Commission had adopted the first plan the appearance of the Avenue would have become less satisfactory as the trees gradually disappeared, and in a comparatively short time it would have been neces- sary to take down all the remaining trees, leaving the Avenue without any shade until new trees had grown.
