AUTUMN’S COLOURS
PICTURESQUE TREES
BEAUTY AROUND PAEROA RESERVES, STREETS, GARDENS Trees that turn colour with autumn are flinging a final vivid > challenge to life in Paeroa gardens and reserves before the cold fingers of winter strip them bare. A gay variety of leaves which typify autumn are beautifying the Paeroa district at present. In some parts trees turn colour before those of the same kind in other localities, and to observe the comparisons lends an added interest to an autumn stroll. Flowering-cherry trees are a picture with their spread-out branches glowing with shades of red, and rhus trees have claimed some of the brightest colours for their own. Purple -and yellow ash trees, yellow birches and planes, golden and brown chestnut and oak trees are giving theii' share to the colour which autumn pools together. In gardens cotoneaster berries shine like thousands of tiny lanterns to light the dullest day, and crab, apples are big and boasting in comparison, stealing a deeper note of red.
