According to Donald Wyman '20, Horticulturist at the Arnold Arboretum, there is no place like New England in the Fall. "Now England," he says, "is unusually fortunate in being located in one of the few regions of the earth where there is a brilliant Autumn color."
Claiming that because of its topography, vistas of New England Fall foliage exceed those of less rugged sections, Wyman states that there is only one small region in South America, one region in Southwestern Europe, and one other place in North America where there are such colorings.
According to experts seventy-eight deciduous trees and shrubs are the principal ingredients of the color spectacle of New England's autumn foliage.
