From the Nov. 9, 1934 edition of the Vineyard Gazette:
The time always comes in the fall when the balance of things outdoors shifts to the ground. It is now. Rains and wind have borne the leaves from many trees to the yards, walks and roads. The gaily colored maple leaves are thick about the feet of pedestrians, sending up their autumnal fragrance.

Beeches distribute a brown and yellow bounty.
