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.

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 contacting the Office of Continuing Education, University of Guelph.
