254 AUTUMN WOODS. 



[Prom George Barnard's " Drawings from Nature."] 



Calendar of the different Tints assumed by various Trees toward the End 

 of September (in England). 



' English Maple. The leaves of the maple change first of all to an ochrey 

 yellow, then to a deeper tone. 



Ash. Fine lemon yellow, soon falling and leaving bunches of seeds of 

 a brown hue. 



Hornbeam. Bright yellow. 



Elm. Generally orange, but with some irregular patches of bright 

 yellow. 



Hawthorn. Tawny yellow, but greatly modified by tones of deep red- 

 dish-brown, and brilliant clusters of berries. 



Hazel. Pale ochrey yellow, with browner shades for the clusters of 

 nuts. 



Sycamore. A dull brown. 



Oak. Yellowish green. 



Horse-Chestnut. A great variety of beautiful rich hues, from a pale 

 yellow to a bright crimson orange [?]. 



Beech. Also finely varied in color, but more of a maroon color than 

 the chestnut. 



Cherry. Most diversified and charming, in tints of yellow, red, crim- 

 son, maroon, and purple. 



NOTB. I perceive that the author does not distinguish between the tints of living and 

 geared or dead leaves.
