To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The world should not be compelled to wait much longer for such improvements. We need the improved stock for planting. Some trees live a century before they reach young manhood.
Persimmons, pawpaws, huckleberries, elderberries, hawthorns and hosts of other native fruits are well worth improvement and might be utilized not only for human food but for hogs, sheep and poultry.
Mr. Frank Babak, of the Department of Agriculture, has recently shown that the black sage (Ramona stachoides), a wild Calif
...ornia plant, and the swamp bay tree (Persea pubescens} of the southeastern United States, both contain a fairly high percentage of camphor and could be utilized for the manufacture of this valuable product. Doubt- less these plants could, by breeding, be adapted to cultivation and the percentage of camphor increased.
The value of improving native plants has been strikingly demon- strated by the amelioration of our native grapes. The attempts of our early ancestors in America to grow European grapes uniformly met with failure, and finally, as a last resort, attempts were made to culti- vate the native wild types.
