Early 
Hotkaps 
Growers who prepare land and plant seed early 
in the Spring, run the dangerous risk of late frosts. 
Frequently it is too late then to plant another crop. 
Time and effort are wasted; money is lost. Hotkaps 
insure against this condition. They not only protect 
against frost, but shield young plants from wind 
and insects and eliminate the possibility of the 
plant being damaged in a heavy rain. They guard 
against too much moisture, which frequently causes 
a delayed and weakened growth. Hotkaps are made 
of a specially prepared waxed paper and are cone¬ 
like in shape, measuring about 11 inches in diameter 
at the base and coming to a point at the top. When 
placed over the plants and held firmly in place by 
the soil around it, Hotkaps become individual 
miniature hot-houses. They are reinforced by a 
strip of heavily waxed paper. 
Note.—To insure proper ground ventilation, it 
is important that Hotkaps are not set more than 
from to H inch in ground. 
Sudbury Home Gardener's 
Soil-Testing Kit 
Plants of all 
kinds need a 
balanced diet if 
they are to yield 
maximum 
growth. The on¬ 
ly way to insure 
balanced diet is 
to first test your 
soil and then 
add fertilizer ac¬ 
cording to the 
soil’s needs. 
Sudbury Soil 
Teot Kits test 
your soils for 
nitrogen, phos¬ 
phorus and pot¬ 
ash — the most essential plant elements. 
No knowledge of chemistry is needed. The kits 
are used by Government Departments and thou¬ 
sands of commercial growers throughout the world.
