Plants do not freeze TO death In win

ess is simple. The cold causes the

plant dies. The truth Of this theory
has been proved by numerous careful
experiments. Great variation was
found in the amount Of cold necessary
to cause the death Of vegetation. Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point Is reached
Many plants win survive zero weather
