What reading level is The Basket Willow book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A portion of the mineral elements may have been obtained by the disintegration of the soil, hastened by the action of acids given off from the willow roots. The deepening and enrichment of the soil was evidently caused by the yearly dropping of the leaves which were kept from being scattered over a wide space by the numerous stumps from which the osiers were yearly cut. 436 BULLETIN OF THE BUSSEY INSTITUTION. I am led to the above conclusions by the fact that some years ago, for the purpose of ...keeping some willow cuttings over winter, I buried them in a bare sand bank from which all the original soil had been removed. By accident, a few of the cuttings were left in the sand where they sprouted and grew rapidly. After the second year, they grew from five to seven feet each year for more than twenty years without the application of any fertilizer, and without cultivation. During the past ten years, these willows have been permitted to grow without being cut ; on examination I find that the sand beneath them is covered with a good soil.
