ing the bonghs uniformly bare, it is a
sign that the Winter will be open and
pleasant, but should they stick in
patches her and there on the tree for
any length of time after sharp weather
then prepare for cold Winter. They
are hanging ON with pretty good grip
this Fall, considering the numerous
killing frosts they have been subjected
to.
