Projection From Frost. -.
The average date Of the last kill
ing frost in the spring for this
vicinity IL April 6th. but freezes have
occurred in Richmond As late as
April goth, and. naturally, light and
heavy frosts have formed even later.
For this reason 1t is not wise to con-
slider the danger period to be past
until the close OF this month. Orchard
lists and others having tender vegeta-
ton exposed should. therefore, be
prepared to secure all possible pro-
lection at any time during the next
week or ten days.
Those who desire to protect tender
plants, and who find II impracticable
to cover them. are advised to thor
ouEhly wet all Of the foliage with q
fine spray Of water during the even
ing preceding the night on which the
frost Is expected. The ground be-
meath the plants should also be we'll
saturated. While this methed will not
afford protection during severe
freeze, 1t may save the plants II their
temperature does not so lower than
q or % degrees

also by increasing the conductivity Of
