Many flower gardens had fresh fall * flowers until the last three or four ‘ days, it was reported. However, cold weather has killed most of the late summer plants 1 and vegetable gardens have also become a thing of the past since ' the heavy frosts. 1 ! Many gardners are setting out i tulips, daffodils and other bulbs that should be placed in the ground before it freezes and others are i busy covering their more tender plants with straw for the approaching winter weather. Most local trees still have an abundance of leaves but it is expected that most of these will fall i in the next few days. The leaves were late in turning this year because of the mild October weather. o DECLARES , (Continued from Page 1) ■ state Robert A.
