To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A great number of varieties of strawberries had been tested, including all the European kinds of high repute, most of which had proved not to be adapted to this climate. We have noted the commencement of the excitement in regard to native grapes, and the advent of the Concord, the Allen's Hybrid, and other improved varieties, and the share of our society in the 17 establishment of the American Pomological Society, two of whose meetings and exhibitions were held under the auspices of the former ...in this era. In the flower department we have noted the intro- duction of the deutzias, the weigelia, the clielytra, and the Lilium auratum. A period which includes the introduction of such beautiful and popular plants must be deemed a most important one ; yet we might add the names of hundreds more only less conspicuous than these. Among green-house plants perhaps the most extraordinary acquisition was the Victoria regia ; and, though not now cultivated here, such is not the case with the multitudes of variegated-leaved plants, the introduction of which took place at about the same time with the flowering of the Victoria, and the taste for which has been continually increasing.
