What reading level is Sketch of the Evolution of Our Native Fruits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was the introduction of the mul- ticaulis mulberry. Perrottet had introduced a new mulberry into France from the Philippines in 1824, the large leaves and rapid growth of which at once attracted the attention of all silk-growers. It turned out that this tree had come originally from China, and was thought to be the source of the famous Chinese silk. Perrottet called it Morus mnlticaulix, from its habit of branching or sprouting from the base. This tree reached America about 1826, and in 18...30 or 1831 it was introduced into Massachusetts by William Kenrick, author of the "New American Orchardist. " The fame of the tree spread rapidly. The records of the next ten years read like fiction. Many nursery- men gave up all other business that they might grow the mulberry, and they realized several hundred per cent profit. The secret of the Chinese silk had been discovered, and every available acre from New Eng- land to the Gulf must be covered with the mulberry, and men must train their hands to the breeding of the worms and the spinning of silken threads !
