To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CONIFEROUS TREES Generally speaking, coniferous trees are ill-adapted for cultivation in our larger towns and cities, and occasionally one sees the Cedar, Cypress, and Austrian Pine ; but their rusty, semi-leafless, generally miserable ap- pearance points only too clearly to the fact that they are unsuited for planting where smoke and other atmospheric impurities abound. Where the position is open and airy and the atmosphere not too contaminated with impurities, a few kinds succeed in a fairly ...satisfactory manner, but even these require a good deal of coaxing in the matter G 2 84 TOWN PLANTING of soil and situation. Evidently deciduous kinds succeed best, and the Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba) and Deciduous Cypress (Taxodium distichum) may, even in London, be found of large size and in a healthy con- dition. Both are highly ornamental conifers that have been dealt with in the chapter under Town Trees. The common Yew, too, has re- ceived attention, but, unless when very favourably situated, it is not to be recom- mended.
