To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every stem was lying wilted on the ground, and in each a fat caterpillar was established. Eggs had evidently been laid just where the pedicels joined the main stem, and the resulting grub had burrowed its way down. I now have bitter feelings toward that beautiful butterfly. We are urgently lifting bulbs as fast as we can, for the rodent moles are busier than ever. They have left me with about half a dozen bulbs of the treasured Antboly^a rtngens (Babiana ringens), half of my black Sparaxis are ...gone, and many other treasures. The worst kind of mole makes no heaps or mounds to show where he is working. He has small runs at the level of the bulbs ; these lead to deeper and larger runs where he makes his store and also his nest, which is usually lined with the outside coats of Sparaxis bulbs ; and his young are fed on green ixias. Our research workers give us instructions as to how these creatures are to be dealt with. I suppose they are under the impression that their methods are successful ; but I have never met the grower who found them to be so.
