A Valaisan Village near Ernen, Switzerland 
AUTUMN 
CROCUS 
O NE of the most entrancing and 
inspiring sights to be seen when trav¬ 
eling through the Engadine and the 
Bernese Alps in Switzerland in late 
August and September, is the land¬ 
scape on the mountain sides, dotted 
with picturesque farmhouses, covered 
in many places with thousands upon 
thousands of the autumn-flowering 
crocuses bravely unfolding their soft¬ 
ly colored petals, showing their love¬ 
ly, often gaily colored hearts, fearless 
of the oncoming winter.
