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.
