What reading level is Culture of the Grape book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Because, in that case, B^ the bunch of fruit, would have the whole six ounces of sap to itself. The reason why this should not be done is this : If all the leaves on the lateral be removed, there will be no force left upon it wherewith to attract from the main branch the food that belongs to it ; for the power which the parts of the plants possess of attracting fluid is in proportion to the amount of their perspiration. Now, leaves perspire copiously, but the grapes themselves scarcely at all ;... whence their gradual conversion, from a substance of the texture of a leaf, into a mass of pulp. In the instance of vine-pruning, the great object is to leave on the laterals just as much force as may be required to secure for the bunches the food that is iitended for them, and at the same time to deprive the laterals of the means of expending that food uselessly in the production of leaves insteal of fruit." CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 169 The closing sentence may be taken as the rule for all checking of the growth of the grape.
