To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old gentleman (an Euro- pean) who has conducted the whole, accom- panied us in our walk: he mentioned that the orange and lime trees, after setting the shoots, bear in two years, . And are fine trees in four ; many examples of which he pointed out. A number of the young trees are exposed to dreadful ravages from the large brown ants ; which, if they once take possession of a tree, strip it of every leaf in the course of a few days, - and injure the tender bark so that it never recovers : no...t even fumigation, or any other method yet discovered, prevents the destruc-. Tioft when once begun. The trees are there- fore generally planted in a circular trench, 137 where water is constantly supplied for the first years, till the tree attains such a growth as to bid defiance to this puny destroyer. It is not only the orange tree which this insect infects, but cultivated vegetation in general ; to pre- vent whichj plantations of this sort are chiefly in valleys, encircled with an artificial stream, and the nests of ants are carefully destroyed within.
