What reading level is Bulb Gardening book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The superb corn flag {Gladiolus cardinalis) has rich scarlet flowers, spotted with white, and the different orange coloured species are very showy. Almost all our garden Gladioli are natives of the Cape of Good Hope ; HARDY BULBS 87 but these flowers are not limited to that part of Africa, but are to be found scattered over the vast deserts of that country. Backhouse describes one which he saw in Caffraria, which had dense spikes of flowers of a dingy hue, covered with minute purple spots ; and... other travellers have named them as blooming in all shades of yellow, pink, and brown colours, among the brilhant blossoms which enliven these arid lands. They have bulbous roots and long sword-shaped leaves : the latter suggested their botanic name, from gladiolus, a sword.' The common Corn Flag, as a matter of fact, is gay magenta-red, and very worthy of culture. If the reader can obtain quantities of different hardy species, and add them to his Herbaceous Border and Rockeries, he will provide a treat annually for himself and his friends !
