One has only to observe our native trees and shrubs in the north-east to appreciate the wonderful colour effects which are producedduring the autumn months and are evidenced on all of our hillsides.So seldom are shrubs selected for landscape grouping with a specificintention of emphasizing their value because of autumn colouration,that we find there are few good illustrations, and those at scatteredintervals, showing the autumn colours and their values in the settingsof our lawns. LIST OF PLANTS VALUABLE BECAUSE OF THE AUTUMNCOLOURATION OF THE LEAVES The plants in the following three groups have been separated andgrouped because of the interesting colour effects of the foliage. Themost important factor in selecting plants for the autumn colourationof their foliage is to select material which will provide a succession ofcolour from early fall to late fall.
