Hotkaps 
Give Your Garden o Good Start 
With HOTKAPS 
New Method ol Plant 
Protection 
Germaco Hotkaps are patented wax paper cones that completely 
cover each plant—the only way to fully protect them from frost. They 
are an "individual hot-house for each plant," protecting them not only 
from frost, but from wind, rain, ground-crusting, and insects as well. 
This is your assurance of earlier, bigger crops, and early-to-market 
prices. 
Be the first with a spring garden. Protect your plants against weather 
and insects with HOTKAPS. Have vegetables and flowers weeks earlier. 
They are miniature greenhouses. Cover small plants such as tomato, 
pepper and eggplants, or cover hills after the seed has been planted in 
Cantaloupe, Cucumber, Squash, etc.

FROST-PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS 
These cabbage plants will stand light freezes and considerable cold 
with little or no damage. They are raised outdoors and are hardy and 
vigorous. If weather permits they can be set out in this section early 
in February. If you cannot plant on arrival, heel the plants in the 
ground; they will keep for weeks. These open air plants enable the 
gardener to bring full grown heads to the market three weeks earlier. 
Do not be disappointed if the plants look wilted or yellow on arrival. 
Set the roots in water for 24 hours and they will revive and grow per¬ 
fectly satisfactory. All Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants have a wilted appear¬ 
ance, but they will freshen up and come through if you handle them 
promptly as directed. 
Orders for Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants will be filled from February 
1st to April 1st and all orders will be sent to customers promptly unless 
weather is too cold or severe.
