OCTOBER days make you realize
how many wonderful things there
are still to see before the frosts come
along. We must see the months flower.
which Is the gentian, blue as the sky
above. There are the rich deep yellow
goldenrods, blue lobelias. late asters,
fragrant mints. The cultivated fiow-
ers will seem to become more brilliant
as the cool nights visit them.
This is the time to select your winter
bouquet. There are so many decora-
tive grasses. then we have the bitter
sweet and the milkweed pods. the briar
berries and the empty pine cones.
Combined, they can make a lovely
decoration. There are very tiny ever
green trees. small ferns and moss to
collect for winter gardens.
OF course there are the usual
cocoons, and one of the most snowy
ones is that Of the polyphemus moth.
In sunny exposures you may still find
the caterpillars of the red admiral but
terfiy. Watch these fellows. They
will wrap themselves about in silken
garments and transform in time to
wing their way to where ripe apples lie
fermenting on the ground. Then after
their spree, they will hunt a cozy crew.

Visit your nut trees. Perhaps YOU
