To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dr. Perkins informed me that the grapes preserved by the pro- cess for three months had retained their crispness and bloom as when cut. He showed me samples of grapes and cherries which had been preserved by it for three years, and although the skin on them, from re-exposure to the ordinary atmosphere, was a little shrivelled, yet the juice of the fruit was present. Vege- tables had also been kept for a long time by it. The reason why the process has not received a practical- trial in sending f...ruit to the eastern States requires explanation. Cali- fornia is distant from Kew York, by rail, about 3,200 miles, and from Chicago over 2,000 miles. The principal markets for the fruit crop exist in these and other great cities of the eastern states. All Californian fruit not canned or dried locally has to be forwarded by rail to the places referred to. In its transit across the continent, extensive deserts have to be crossed, where the heat is so great in summer that, if the fruit were carried in ordinary cars, it would be desiccated and unsaleable on arrival at its destination.
