Abstract

EXPERIMENTS described by Siegel et al.1 show that cucumber seedlings are capable of surviving a temperature Of −10° C if grown previously for three weeks in an atmosphere of 2 per cent oxygen and 98 per cent argon. This is a most interesting phenomenon, as cucumber normally shows little or no capacity for frost resistance.
