Pg. 169 “…but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing trees.”

Pg. 117 “…One autumn night, five years before, they had been walking down the street when the leaves were falling, and they came to a place where there were no trees and the sidewalk was white with moonlight.”

In both of these passages, Gatsby is walking through the autumn trees during the night.  He talks about the leaves falling, and and the yellowing trees on page 169, made me assume that it was in the fall.
