What reading level is Useful Wild Plants of the United States And Canada book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The species is dioecious, and only the pistillate plant bears fruit; but that does it abundantly — tight clusters of small, scarlet berries, so sour as to find few takers until the frosts of October temper their acerbity. Then they are pleasant enough whether raw or cooked, though still with a touch of acid astringency that makes for sprightliness. Jell}'- made from them ranks especially high, and to this end they are gathered by white dwellers in the re- gions where they grow. In fact, the pla...nt is not in- frequently found transferred to gardens. The ber- ries used to be one of the Indians' dietary staples, lending a lively, fruity flavor to the unending stews and mushes of the red men. There is a related plant, the Silverberry {Elaeagnus argentea, Pursh), native to much the same region and often cultivated in gardens for the sake of the fragrant, silvery, funnel-form flowers and attractive foliage. Its white, scurfy berries, while in a sense edible, are too dry and mealy for most people, and are left to the prairie chickens.
