To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Papaw is a tall, slender, herbaceous tree, of very rapid growth, sometimes at- taining the height of thirty feet. The body of the tree is usually naked to with- in two or three feet of the topi, and is marked with the cicatrices of the fallen leaves, which wither and fall as the tree continues to grow, giving place to others above them. Sometimes, however, there are several branches attached to the upper part of the body of the tree ; each of which branches produces a cluster of fruit. The ...leaves are very large, have long footstalks, and are divided into numerous lobes. — The fruit is nearly round, of a pale-green color, becoming yellowish as it ripens, and is about the size of the head of a very young infant. One variety of the papaw, however, bears fruit of an elongated shape somewhat like a pear ; but considerably larger than the other variety. The fruit of the papaw has a sweetish taste. It is very soft ; and, when fully ripe, and stewed, it resembles in both appearance and taste the best pumpkins of the United States ; — when it is stewed, before it has ripened, and is made into pie, it so much resembles the green-apple pie, in taste as well as ap- pearance, that the most fastidious epicure might be deceived by it ; if he did not stop to think that apples do not grow in Liberia.
