What reading level is In My Vicarage Garden And Elsewhere book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having got so far, the specific names point out to us how one differs from another : 101 In My Vicarage Garden that one is phoewn^ or dark-flowered, while another is sanguineum with red flowers ; one is sylvaticum, of the woods, another pratense of the meadows, a third maritimum of the seashore, and a fourth Pyrenaeum, having its headquarters in the Pyrenees, while the structure is shown in one, being Nodosum, with knotty joints, and another Rotundifolium with round leaves, and so on. This will... show what I mean from our native plants ; in exotic plants the scientific names often tell us a great deal of the geography or discovery of the plant, and so often give valuable help to the cultivator. If he gets a plant having for its specific name Javanicun, Brasiliensis, Benghalensis, Madagas- carensis, Aethiopica, etc. , he knows at once that it is a tropical plant, which can only be grown in a hothouse ; if it is labelled Chilensis, Chiloensis, Magellanica, Mexicana, Capensis, or Novae Zea- landiae, he knows at once that it is probably half hardy, and may be worth trying as a hardy plant ; if the specific name is Japonica, Siberica^ Tartarica, CanadensiS) borealis, or Arctica, he has little scruple in trusting it out-of-doors, being well assured of its hardness, though for some mysterious reason it may defy cultivation in England ; if the name is Htmalaica ^Atlantica^ Caucasica^ Alpina, or mon- tana, he knows at once that it comes from a high elevation, and must be treated accordingly to the best of his powers ; while on the other hand he will reject a plant which reveals its low level nature by the names paludosus, lacustris, aquatica, 102 Plant Names or hydrophilon, unless he can give it a pond or a bog.
