To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have lately been employed in constructing a very pretty ornament for a corner of my garden ; and as you may make one yourself with very little trouble, I will tell you how I set about it. The main part is merely a round flat basket, in which some plants were sent from a nursery-man : this is set on four short stakes, with some crooked pieces of wood Digitized byCjOOQlC > RUSTIC FLOWER BASKET. 79 nailed on them, as rustic work, in the same way as the rustic seats and tables are made : these br...anches are nailed on, to prevent the four legs having a formal appearance : the in- side is smeared over with melted pitch, to pre- vent its rotting: this, however, may be dis- pensed with, as the basket is easily renewed : it is then filled with fine rich mould, and in it are plunged pots of all sorts of tender an- nuals and green-house plants. I had previ- ously made holes in different parts of the sides of the. basket, into which holes I introduced several trailing plants and creepers, which look extremely pretty ; some peeping out covered with different coloured flowers; others twin- ing round the wicker-work ; and others hang- ing down, and in some places touching the ground.
