To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the practice of planting, I recommend that the natural position of the root of the tree be examined, the hole dug wider than their circumference, the bottom of it well broken up, the tree placed in the centre, and the bottom tier of roots placed in an ex- tended manner ; then apply some fine earth over them as a covering, being careful that no cavity is left under the bole of the tree ; after this layer of roots is properly placed and covered, then prepare to lay the upper tier in their natu...ral expanded posi- tion, being careful not to cramp or bend them, but let their fibres be fully extended ; this done, fill up the hole with well pulverized earth a little above the surface, and rather highest near the stem in order to let off excessive moisture from the roots of the tree ; the surface may then be gently trod and the work is done. That the tree should be supported by stakes, and the ground kept in good order, are requisites too well known to require any comment, only that they should be attentively and strictly seen to at all times when needed.
