Geraniums may be taken up from beds in the fall, 
before they are injured by frosts, and stored in a cellar 
where the temperature will not go below freezing. They 
should be given a moderate amount of water. The 
plants may be used for making slips during the winter, 
or they may be cut back and planted in beds the next 
spring, when all danger from frosts 1s over.
