Recommended for the prevention of damp¬ 
ing-off of plants of many vegetables as well 
as some flowers. It is a fine powder red in 
color, to be mixed with the seed before 
sowing. The red copper oxide kills the fungi 
which cause damping-off and rotting of 
seeds before sprouting. Your state experiment station 
can’ give you information if you wish to know their 
experiences with it. The cost of treating seed is from 
r 4 to lc per pound of seed.

Steel Setter Tamper Garden Setter 
HotKaps have been used to protect plants from frost, excess 
rain, wind and cold, and from the ravages of birds and insects. 
HotKaps maintain a perfect mulch around each plant, as well 
as protecting from outside damage. Growth is materially forced, 
resulting in stronger plants maturing from two to three weeks 
earlier. That means premium prices and greater profits. They 
are patented waxed paper cones, placed over each seed or plant 
as it is set out. Each HotKap is a small hothouse. It is easily 
put in place—one man can set more than 3,000 a day. HotKaps 
come in rolls of 1,000 for ordinary use, and in special trial or 
garden packages. For rapid placing, use the steel HotKap setter.
