Tender plants that have become frozen, or but slightly touched by frost,
can be saved, if taken before they commence to thaw out; sprinkle or dip
the affected part in cold water, and then remove the plant or plants
into a dark place to remain for a day, then bring them to the light. We

autumn, by getting up long before sunrise, drenching the leaves with
water, and then covering the plants with a sheet or blanket.
