Insure with Plant Protectors 

A seed field of Honey Cream Watermelons 
Each’year we keep covering a still larger acreage of our melons with Hotents. This spring we plan to use them on all of our plantings of water- 
melon and muskmelon. If there is plenty of moisture in the ground we put the Hotents on when the seed is planted. If it is very dry we 
wait until the melon plants are just coming through the ground. Hotents protect the plants from the chewing and disease carrying bugs, 
andjthey also prevent the plants from becoming stunted from cold, unseasonal weather. 
PLANT PROTECTORS 
HOTKAPS Protect Crops 
and pay premium profits 
Hotkaps eliminate weather and insect damage. 
These patented wax paper cones form miniature hot 
houses over each plant, promote sturdy growth and 
bring crops to maturity 2 to 3 weeks earlier. Thousands 
of farmers are getting premium prices, making big 
money every year by using Hotkaps. Inexpensive to 
buy. Easy to set out. One man can place 2000 or 
more per day. 
Prices: 1000 for $10.65; 250 package with Setter 
and Tamper, $3.80; 100 package with Setter 
and Tamper, $2.65, Not prepaid; Hotkap Home 
Garden package, 25 Hotkaps and cardboard 
setter, 50 cts. postpaid; Steel Setter and Tamp- 
er, $1.50; Garden Setter, 50 cts. Postage extra. 
SAGE HI-CAPS 
Made of heavy oiled paper, they are 10 inches in diame- 
terand | 2 inches high. This gives plenty of room for the 
growing plant. The ventilation at the top seems to help 
in the production of a sturdy plant and allows a certain 
amount of inspection. We have no trouble with insects. 
They are sturdy, amply 
reenforced and stand 
up fairly well under 
both rain and wind. 
We recommend them 
for melons, cucumbers, 
peppers,egg plants, and 
tomatoes. Prices: 50 
caps $1.00; 250 caps 
$3.75, Prepaid; 1,000 
caps $10.50, Not pre- 
paid. One paper set- 
ter included with 
each order. Light 
weight aluminum 
setter $1.50 each.

“The 29-3 I planted last year produced 87 apple crates of ear 
corn on 7/8 acre of land and the field, in spite of a very dry season, 
was considered by everyone who saw it the finest field of corn in 
the vicinity. I believe it to be even better than you claim.”
