With maternal solicitude, they're keeping fruit buds subdued, right under the warm bud sheath where they won't get nipped by some errant late frost that's just looking for mischief. Oak and chestnut are hardbitten old pessimists. They not only keep buds subdued until weather 1s really mild. They're hanging onto their leaves, brown though they be, as if to squelch all this “soon it will be spring” talk. The daintiest promise of spring is the sycamore. She's reaching her-white kid-gloved "hand gracefully toward the sun, dangling seed balls as ifthey jeweled -ornaments. Come spring each one will burst as she flings her
