. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 438 The American Florist. Sept. 15,. CHART 1, SHOWING AVERAGE DATE OF THE FIRST KILLING FROST IN AUTUMN. Frost Dates. Truckers and gardeners planning for late crops should be aided in deter- mining their "best bets" on the first frost by referring to this historical summary' of frost occurrences in va- rious sections, just issued by the Unit- ed States weather bureau : Killing frost has never occurred earlier than September 10 south of the extreme southwestern portion of South Dakota, extreme southern Minnesota, central Wisconsin, and the interior northern portion of lower Michigan. It hEis never occurred earlier than Octo- ber 1 south of the extreme north por- tions of Oklahoma and Arkansas, southern Tennessee, and the mountain districts of North Carolina and Vir- ginia. It has never occurred earlier than October 20 to the southward of the extreme northeastern portion of Texas, northern Louisiana, the central portions of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and eastern North Carolina. The chances are even that killing frost will not occur before September in most of North Dakota. Mon- tana, and the extreme northern por- tion of Minnesota.

By October it may be ex- pected in at half the years as far south as the central portions of Kan- sas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, throughout eastern Kentucky and the mountainous sections of the Virginias. There is one chance in two. that killing frost will not occur earlier than November 1 at the latitude of central Oklahoma, central Arkansas, and the northern portions of Mississippi, Ala- bama, Georgia, South Carolina, and eastern North C
