in the section stricken by the Sep
TENDER storm present an unusual ap-
pearance. Leaves on the east side
of each tree are dark colored and
heavy, while the foliage on the west

drenched the west side of all trees
so thoroughly that the leaves dropped
off and in many instances the fru''
turned yellow and fell off The
leaves have now grown out again and
occasionally bloom can be seen.
