L'auomne en couleurs / Automnal tints

"L'automne rayonnant au-dessus des bois jaunes"

"Autumn beaming o'er the yellow woods."

As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight.

Chez la plupart des plantes, la corolle, ou calice est la pièce florale qui prend la couleur la plus intense et qui est la plus attrayante; chez beaucoup, c'est le péricarpe ou le fruit; chez d'autres, comme l'érable rouge, ce sont les feuilles; et chez d'autres encore, c'est la tige qui est la fleur principale ou la partie qui porte les fleurs.

In most plants the corolla or calyx is the part which attains the highest color, and is the most attractive; in many it is the seed-vessel or fruit; in others, as the Red Maple, the leaves; and in others still it is the very culm itself which is the principal flower or blooming part.
