To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes, when a bush is stubbornly stiff, and refuses to jdeld without danger of injury, it is well to heap a pail- ful or two of earth against it, on the side toward which it is to be bent, thus enabling you to curve it over the heaped-up soil in such a manner as to avoid a sharp bend. Never hurry with this work. Take your time for it, and do it thoroughly, and thoroughness means carefulness, always. As a general thing, six or eight inches of dry soil will be sufficient covering for Roses at... the north. If litter is used, the covering can be eight or ten inches deep. Do not apply any covering early in the season, as so many do for the sake of " getting the work out of the way." Wait until you are reasonably sure that cold weather is setting in. Teas, and the Bourbon and Bengal sections of the so-called ever-bloomers, are most satisfac- torily wintered in the open ground by making a pen of boards about them, at least ten inches 13S THE ROSE deep, and filling it with leaves, packing them firmly over the laid-down plants.
