PLANET JR. 
Wheel Hoes 
and Seeders 


Planet Jr. 
No. 12 
A wheel hoe is a necessity in every garden except 
the very smallest. It does better work than can be done 
with a hand hoe and does it faster. The Planet Jr. 
tools are the best made and we use a half dozen on 
Moreton Farm practically every day during the season.

HOTKAPS and HOTENTS 
During the past few years, growers of vine crops have found that the protection 
offered their plants by Hotkaps and Hotents has resulted in increased profits 
from better and earlier fruit. In the home gardens they help to take the risk of 
disappointment out of early planted crops. 
Hotcaps and Hotents are so constructed that when properly set they will 
withstand very heavy winds and beating rains. 
Gardeners who have been in the habit of using home made field forcers, find that Hotkaps ee ae 
are cheaper and easier to use and just as effective. 
We have tried several other plant protectors side by side with Hotkaps and Hotents 
and found that none of them stood up under high winds and heavy rains nearly as well. 
Hotkaps are miniature hot houses consisting of scien- 
tifically constructed wax paper cones which are placed 
over the plant or hill of seed in the field. By using 
Hotkaps the plants can be set out or the seed sown 
as soon as the ground gets warm. There is no danger of 
frost, with Hotkaps. 

For Extra Early Sweet Corn. Growers of early corn find that by using Hotkaps 
they can plant earlier and thus get corn to mature earlier, thereby getting the 
benefit of early high prices. 
Using the setter and tamper one man can set about 2500 “Hotkaps’’ a day. 
Whether you have fifty hills or 5000 to protect, Hotkaps will do the work easily 
and economically. Complete directions are sent with each lot of Hotkaps.

Hotkap Setters. The “special” setter mentioned above works perfectly with 
small amounts but it is not sturdy enough for setting Hotkaps in large numbers. 
The Special Setter may be bought separately at 75c each transportation paid, 
which includes packing and a steel tamper. 
The regular Hotkap Setter consists of a steel cone the exact shape of the Hotkap 
with a handle on top. They greatly facilitate the setting of Hotkaps, and are prac- 
tically indestructible. A “‘tamper’’ is included with each Steel Setter. Price $1.50

Hotkaps and Hotents keep the soil around the plants in perfect condition con- 
serving the soil moisture and preventing it from baking. They shield the young 
plants from winds, and beating rains. The striped cucumber beetle which does so 
much damage to the young plants of melons, cucumbers, squash, etc. cannot 
get to plants which are protected by Hotkaps or Hotents.
