AUTUMN TINTS

of the leaves. During the process of withdrawal a change in colour 

 comes over the foliage. The more or less brilliant greens are gradually 

 replaced by yellow, orange, red, purple, and a variety of intermediate 

 shades until most beautiful pictures are produced upon the landscape 

 by this autumnal colouring. The masses of gold presented by the stately 

 Elms, the deeper amber yellow of the Horse Chestnuts, the beauti- 

 ful russety-brown of the Beech and Oaks, the purple-red of the 

 Virginia Creeper, and the tints of all our native trees and shrubs are 

 sufficiently well known and never fail to call forth our admiration dur- 

 ing the autumn. But there are many other trees and shrubs natives 

 of other climes quite as remarkable for their vivid colouring at this 

 period, and they are well worthy of a place in gardens where they can 

 be grown to produce an effect in conjunction with the various hues of 

 the numerous evergreens of the Conifer Family, the Common Holly 

 &c. It has been noticed in connection with autumn colouring that 

 leaves covered with hair or down undergo but very little change in 

 colour, and it therefore looks as if the change in the cells was due to 

 the light. While all deciduous trees and shrubs are more or less 

 beautiful in the colouring of their foliage in autumn, some are particu- 

 larly fine and deserve especial mention in the following list. The name 

 of the genus only is mentioned, as the species can easily be found at 

 the page referred to after the name.
