To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oenothera eximia^ which likes a light soil, is one of the best of the white-flowered kinds, its scent somewhat resembling that of the magnolia. Oe. speciosa (white to rose), Oe, odorata (yellow), Oe. fruticosa (yellow), Oe. macrocarpa (yellow), Oe. biennis grandiflora (yellow), and Oe, triloba (yellow) are but a few names. Some of the evening primroses remain more or less open in the daytime, in which case they are usually visited by bees as well as by their guests of the night. The catchflies ...are a family of night-bloomers, and their relative, the Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis^ re- sembles them in this respect, for its large rosy flowers open and become fragrant much after the manner of those of &ilene nutans. The common pinks, too, which are allied plants, yield increased fragrance during the hours between sunset and sunrise, and are then fre- quently visited by moths. The petunias are not often capable of being grown as hardy perennials in English gardens, but are easily grown as half-hardy annuals.
