nearly all the colorful trees are
of North American,origin.
At Kew Gardens in England,
for example, the two most
highly colored trees in autumn
are the red maple and the black
gum, both native to North
America; in fact both grow wild
in Ontario, although the latter
has a more southerly and sparse
distribution.
Other plants that contribute a
great deal to our fall colors are
the sumac, the shadbushes, the
highbush cranberry, the red oak,
the scarlet oak and the native
poplars and elms, which provide
the golden touch. Some exotic
plants are worth growing solely
for their autumn color. These
usually change color earlier than
our native plants, thus extending
the fall color season. When
planning your garden it will be
worthwhile to include some of
these plants.
Among the best and most
flamboyant exotic trees are the
ginnala mafee, which often
outshines the native red maple in
our arboretum but colors earlier
and has a more fleeting effect;
the Ohio buckeye, a tree like a
horse chestnut, with large
palmate leaves that change to
red in fall; the true Chinese elm,
' a small tree with thick leathery
foliage that will take on a
crimson and yellow hue in the
next few weeks; and the
maidenhair fern tree, which
glows with a soft luminous
yellow tone.
Shrubs' of exotic origin that
have beauty of fall color include
the smoke bush with leaves that
change to purple, scarlet and
gold; the Pekin cotoneaster, a
showy Chinese hedge plant with
dark green leaves that turn to
crimson in the fall; the flowering
currant, now presenting a most
dazzling scarlet effect; many
spindle trees, including the
winged euonymus, the Sachalin
spindle tree and the European
spindle tree; and the rugosa rose
and its cultivars with their
purplish-red foliage enhanced by
vivid red rose hips.

BY A. B. BUCKLEY
Every Paasing day sees a
deeper intensity of autumn color
as more and more trees take on
their fall hues. Distant hills,
green a week ago, are now
speckled with gold. A flicker of
fire may be seen in some of the
sugar maples. In the arboretum
of the Plant Research Institute,
the winged spindletree has again
donned its rich, rosy scarlet
robe, In a few days the full glory
of autumn pageantry will be
upon us and we shall gaze with
awe at this wonderful spectacle
of nature,
The color change of leaves in
fall is caused by the gradual
disappearance of the green
coloring matter, chlorophyll.
This magic chlorophyll uses the
sun's rays for energy and turning
certain elements of the air into
food. The process of
food-building in ordinary
deciduous plants goes on only
during comparatively warm
weather. As the nights become
cooler in fall, this phenomenon
gradually ceases and the
development of chlorophyll
stops.
Besides the green pigments
that make up chlorophyll, leaves
also contain, in varying
quantities, red and yellow
pigments. In most trees and
shrubs these pigments are hidden
beneath the more conspicuous
green, and appear only in the fall
when the green pigments
disappear. Many plants, that
turn a vivid red in the fall, have
purplish and coppery-green
leaves. One example is the
purple barberry.
Contrary to general belief,
frosts have little influence on the
bright colors except that they
naturally slow down the
Food-building process.. Actually,
they may shorten the fall
coloring period by removing the
leaves from the trees too,
quickly. A very hot, dry
summer, too, may cause the
leaves to drop much earlier.
As the leaves turn color, a
change takes place at the base of
the leaf stalk, where a layer of
corky cells is being formed. This
layer of cells, known as the
abscission layer, facilitates the
falling of the leaf and is nature's
way of sealing up the point
where the leaf is attached to the
stalk. As soon as this layer of
cells has formed, the first slight
breeze of autumn sends the
leaves falling lightly to the
ground.
A question often asked is
why autumn in North America is
notably more spectacular than it
is in most other countries. Many
people think this is due to the
weather that prevails in these
countries, but this is not entirely
true.
The main factor that
contributes to our fall colors is
the species of trees that are
native to this region. If one visits
any of the famous botanical
collections in Europe during fall,
one becomes impressed
immediately with the fact that
Weeds, in field or garden, are
an ever-Present Problem.
To help farmers in their battle
with Weeds, , the Ontario
Agricultural College of Guelph,
is offering a correspondence
course on the priniciples of weed
science. The noting deals with
weed identification, mechanical
and chemical control methods,
plant physiology, and herbicides
as related to field crops and turf,
Modern weed control
practices lean to the use .of
chemicals integrated into an
overall program utilizing tillage,
cropping, and management
methods, • The Office of
Continuing Education at the
University of Guelph believes
that, in addition to knowing the
most effective weed killer to use,
it is important to have a
knowledge of the properties and
functions of the various
ehemicals available, plus an
understanding of the life
histories and competitive
abilities of both crops and
weeds.
The home study course covers
eight assignments, each
accompanied by supplemental
notes and prescribed reading
from a supplied text.
The program is open to
anyone who is interested,
regardless of educational
background. The student Work's.
at his or her own speed with no
time limit fOr completion of the
P:01.1Ise.
Each completed assignment is
mailed to the University, where
it is marked and returned to the
student with corrections and
eorntrients. A final examination
is sent to the student upon
completion of the course
assignments,
This correspondence course in
Weed Science is a joint effort of
the Departments of EotanY,
Crop Science and Horticulture.
The fee is $40. This includes
all study material and the
marking of assignments. Further
information may be obtained py

Continuing Education,
