To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The community is not stirred, hardly realizing what is lost, and it remains for public-spirited individuals to do what might be done more comprehensively by the city. At this juncture the tree-planting associations appear. They are supported by the small annual dues of members, and make it possible for any one to secure the planting of a tree before his property without further trouble than the mailing of a printed form. Of these societies the most conspicuous are prob- ably those of Brooklyn a...nd Manhattan, New York. The latter was founded only in 1896, but in the single year of 1900 it reported four thousand trees set out through its efforts. Nothing but the need and vastness of the field can make that showing look small. The former association is probably the best known in the United States. The activity of these societies is very great also along the lines of popular education and advice. They publish full information as to the variety of tree most suit- able for selection, as to how and when to plant, where to obtain the trees, and the cost of the work ; they distribute circulars regarding the care of trees, call attention to any threatened injury by insects, and recommend safeguards.
