I am inelined to share this view. Others will say that one must not over-look the beauty of early spring with the tender new growth giving so many soft and lovely shades of green. In the spring the plants are ending a period of rest and dorm ancy and are so eager to “break forth” that spring comes with a rush, when the days lengthen and the average temperature rises. In contrast, the fall season ap proaches much moi’e slowly as the plants prepare for the harvest sea son and again, for rest and dorm ancy to complete another growth cycle. There is something about pumpkin, the ringing of door bells and the small-fry with their “trick or treat” shenanigans. The leaves are colored by vari ous pigments. During the growing season most of them are green. This green color is caused by the presence of chlorophyll contained in the cholorplasts. There are also other colors present but these are obscured by the green color until late in the season when the reds and yellows appear as the green fades out. m.e.garilner o.c.state colleye In the autumn a layer of cells begins to mature at the base of the leaf stem. When this happens, transport of materials (water and nutrients) to and from the leaf is checked, the activity of the leaf is reduced and chlorophyll de velopment slows down or the green pigment may be completely de stroyed. This is when the other pigments, which were formerly masked, begin to dominate, giving the beautiful fall colors in wide variety foi us to enjoy. This a simple explanation of what occurs. What really happens would require the use of physicolo- gical and chemical terms in which many of my readers would not be interested.
