August, September, and Later 



A few late orchids, herbs, and shrubs come first into bloom in 

 August, most of them continuing through the fall. The com- 

 posites are now in their glory, and golden-rods, asters, thistles, 

 eupatoriums, and other members of that aggressive family fill the 

 fields and roadsides with splendid color. The colors of fall flowers 

 are strong and deep, yellows and purples predominating. Golden- 

 rods already mentioned as late July bloomers belong rather to this 

 month, as do many of the asters. Before withdrawing itself for its 

 winter sleep, nature makes one last effort to be gay and beautiful.
