Bigger Profits 
from Your Crops 
Market Your Crops 3 Weeks Earlier and 
Benefit from Higher Prices. These ‘‘Minia¬ 
ture Hothouses” Make This Possible by Pro¬ 
tecting Plants Against Frost and Storms. 
Each year more and more thousands of growers are increas¬ 
ing their profits by using Germaco HOTKAl’S—shown ahove. 
This remarkable invention consists of a scientifically constructed 
wax paper cone that you place over each plant. Thus tliey are 
miniature hot-houses 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!
