If in the fall of the leaves in October many of them wither and hang on the boughs, it betokens a frosty winter and much snow.

If the leaves are slow to fall, expect a cold winter.

If the falling leaves remain under the trees and are not blown away by the wind, expect a fruitful year to follow.

When leaves of trees are thick, expect a cold winter.

Late Blossoms.

Late blossoms indicate a good fruit year.

Marigold.

The marigold opens between 6 and 7 in the morning and generally keeps awake until 4 in the afternoon. In such cases the weather will be steady. If, on the other hand, it does not open by 7 o’clock in the morning, you may expect rain that day.

Milk-weed.

Milk-weed closing at night indicates rain.
