ABOUT FROZEN PLANTS.
Reliable Instru ctfons as to Their Care
and Treat

ne1aDlc as 10 OaT0
and Treat
When by any mishap the plants,
whether in parlor or greenhouse, be-
come frozen, either at once rem owe
them (taking care not to touch the
leaves) to some place warm enough to
be just above the point of freezing; or,
if there are too many to do that, get
up the fire as rapidly as possible. and
raise the temperature. The usual ad.
vice is to sprinkle the leaves and shade
the plants from the sun. We have
never found cit her remedy of any avail
with frozen plants, and the sprinkling
is often a seri Gus injury if done before
the temperature is above the freezing
point. In our experience with thou
sands of fro zen plants, we have tried
all manner of expedients, and found
no better m ethod than to get them out
Of the freezing atmosphere as
quickly as possible. and we
have also found that the
damage is in proportion to the sue
eulent condition of the plant and the
intensity of the freezing. just what
degree of cold plants in any given
condition can endure without injury
we are unable to state. Plants are
often frozen so that the leaves hang
down, but when thawed out are found
to be not at all injured. At another
time the same low tempe rature acting
on the same kind of plants will kill
them outright il they happen to be
growing more thriftily and are full of
sap Much depends on the temper
ature at which plants have been grow
ing. When the frost is penetrating
into greenhouse or room in which
plants are kept and the heating ar
rangements are inadequate to keep it
out, the best thing to do is to cover
the plants with paper (newspapers)
or sheeting. Thus protected, most
plants will be enabled to resist four or
FIVE degrees of frost. Paper is rather
better than sheeting for this purpose.
