HOTKAPS 
Higher Prices 
for Your Crop 
This Amazing New Method of Plant Protection 
gets you Higher prices for Larger and QUICKER 
Crops. 
Last year thousands of growers added to the 
value of their vine crops by using Germaco HOT¬ 
KAPS. This remarkable invention consists of a 
scientifically constructed wax paper cone that you 
place over each plant. Thus they are miniature 
hothouses that protect plants from FROST, wind, 
rain, insects and ground crusting. 
HOTKAPS not only protect plants, but make them 
grow hardier and faster. Thus you get a greater 
crop production to market earlier for higher prices! 
You can add to your next year’s profit with Hot- 
kaps. They cost but a fraction over a penny each. 
One man can “set” 3.000 Hotkaps per day. They not 
only bring you higher prices, but are a method of 
crop insurance—against the danger of the elements. 
Postpaid, trial package 100 Hotkaps for $2.00. Package of 250 Hotkaps with Garden Seller, $ 3 . 50 . Not 
prepaid, 1,000 for $0.75. Larger quantities $9.50 per 1,000. Hotkaps are packed 1,000 to the box. Metal
