Coldframe. An unheated covered frame (see Frame) used (1) for the starting of plants in spring in advance of settled weather but not so early as in a hotbed; (2) for receiving plants from a hotbed or greenhouse, holding them as an intermediate station until they may go in the field; (3) carrying hardy plants over winter, as spinach, lettuce; (4) providing a general store-place for hardy or semi-hardy stuff from greenhouse and garden; (5) affording a propagating-bed in spring and summer for seeds or cuttings. Usually the coldframe is topped with glass, as is the hotbed, but prepared paper or cloth is sometimes used. Coldframes are usually of temporary construction. L. H.
