To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Long. _Preferred Habitat_--Low, moist ground, roadside ditches, swamps. _Flowering Season_--July-September. _Distribution_--Nova Scotia westward, and southward to Georgia andKansas. An instant's comparison shows the steeple bush to be closely related tothe fleecy, white meadow-sweet, often found growing near. The pinkspires, which bloom from the top downward, have pale brown tips wherethe withered flowers are, toward the end of summer. Why is the underside of the leaves so woolly? Not as a prot...ectionagainst wingless insects crawling upward, that is certain; for suchcould only benefit these tiny clustered flowers. Not against the sun'srays, for it is only the under surface that is coated. When the upperleaf surface is hairy, we know that the plant is protected in this wayfrom perspiring too freely. Doubtless these leaves of the steeple bush, like those of other plants that choose a similar habitat, have woollyhairs beneath as an absorbent to protect their pores from clogging withthe vapors that must rise from the damp ground where the plant grows.
