Use Germaco Hotkaps 
Amazing New Method of Plant Protection 
This remarkable invention consists of a scientifi¬ 
cally constructed wax paper cone that you place over 
each plant. Thus they are miniature hot-houses that 
protect plants from fiost, 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. 
The illustration shows what Germaco HOTKAPS 
mean to growers of all vine crops. The plants 
illustrated were sown in a seeder. HOTKAPS were 
placed over spots in the row. Note how quickly the 
plants under them have gi-own.—the head-start they 
have in the race for high priced markets. 
HOTKAPS cost you little to use and bring big 
profits. They save you worry, too, over frost, wind, 
hail, rain, insects and ground crusting. They put 
each of your plants under a hothouse to grow quicker 
and hardier—^without danger of loss.
