The maples on the low pond-islands followed the woodbine, but being of much sturdier growth were longer in dying, and for a week or two glowed and flushed, the top leaves fading first, then down, down, down, in the track of the reced- ing life-blood, leaving only the skele- ton. The osiers that grow embedded in the water, margining the pond, mix- THE LOOM OF AUTUMN I9I ing with the blackened leaves of the pickerel weed, meanwhile have turned into a bank of pink and yellow. The dogwood, Cornus f...lorida, stands out from all the crowding group of trees and bushes, suggesting a moral , sketch by Hogarth, which might be called, The Past, Present, and Future of a Virtuous Tree. The gaily col- oured leaves are the badges of past service, the rosettes of polished, red, brown-tipped berries make a present feast for worthy pilgrim birds. The well-wrapped flower buds capping the season's growth, with their square par- cels, hold the next spring's promise, when by unfurling their white flags they will call a truce with the frost and tell the farmer that he may fearlessly plant his Indian corn.
