NATURE’S FROST FLOWERS 
Concluded from page 15 
goes condensation and lets its liquid 
burden fall back to earth as rain, hail 
or snow. When a saturated section 
of the lower atmosphere comes in 
contact with a section of earth at a 
lower temperature, as during a sum- 
mer night the surplus moisture in this 
air falls as dew; in winter as hoar 
frost; under conditions which are far 
rarer and seldom occur except locally 
in high mountain districts in early 
winter, the deposit takes the form 
of frost-flowers. These frost-flowers 
are identical in form with those oth- 
er flowers, called snow flakes, which 
are formed “in the clouds” or yet 
again the ice-flowers which, welded 
together by their natural expansion, 
cover pools of water with a sheet of 
ice in frosty weather — as already de- 
scribed. The white deposit of hoar- 
frost is also built of them. All in- 
Plantlng Contracts 
We are among the largest growers of ornamental 
trees, shrubs and plants In America. Hardy va- 
rieties a specialty. We employ a competent land- 
scape gardener for the service of our large patron- 
age. Cemetery and Park Organizations are invited 
to correspond relative to eitherPLANNiNG or Plant- 
ing, or both. We will be pleased to make estimates 
on any proposition. 
THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY 
Est. 1868. Lake City, Minn. 1200 Acres 
variably come into existence as six- 
sided stars. There is no other type, 
but this type apart, the forms are of 
an infinite variety: over 1,000 have 
been enumerated. 
It is hardly possible to photograph 
those ice-stars, the birth of which pre- 
cedes the change of liquid water into 
solid ice. To photograph snow-flakes 
is, again, not easy. The pictures ac- 
companying this article are therefore 
all reproduced from photographs of 
ice-flowers or natural objects coated 
with hoar-frost.
