Notes On Frost by Edward Bennett Garriott. Notes On Frost is a practical government bulletin from the U.S. Weather Bureau (1899) that explains the science of frost formation and offers field-tested methods for protecting crops. Garriott, a Professor of Meteorology, outlines how frost forms via radiation and evaporation, why frost-prone seasons vary by region, and when temperatures and cloud cover together create harmful frosts. The bulletin surveys frost seasons across the United States, identifies critical periods for crops, and presents practical protection techniques, including screens and smudges to slow heat loss, devices to add moisture to the air, and irrigation or flooding in wet climates. It includes results from California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and other locales, along with case studies and recommendations for timing, cost, and applicability to small farms versus large fields. The work emphasizes using warnings and localized protective measures rather than broad, expensive interventions.
