HOTKAPS and HOTENTS 
Hotkaps and Hotents are scientifically constructed wax paper cones 
which act as miniature hot houses when placed over the plant or hill 
of seed in the field. By using them the plants can be set out or the seed 
sown as soon as the ground gets warm, as they afford protection from 
frosts; this means earlier crops and better yields. In the home garden, 
Hotkaps and Hotents help to take the risk of disappointment out of 
early planted crops, and often enable the user to get fine early crops 
ready to eat weeks ahead of the neighbors. 
These practical field forcers are so constructed that when properly 
set they will withstand very heavy winds and beating rains. In addition 
they keep the plants safe from insect pests and are especially good for 
melons, cucumbers and other vine crops because the striped cucumber 
beetles which do so much damage to the young plants are kept out 
until the plants have become well established. 
Hotkaps and Hotents keep the soil around the plants in perfect 
condition conserving soil moisture and preventing it from baking. They 
are especially recommended for vine crops and are ideal for early sweet 
corn growers as they permit earlier planting and earlier crops.

No. 3 
These pots have repeatedly produced better, earlier vegetables and 
are used in large numbers by practical, successful growers. 
We now grow and ship our own potted vegetable plants in No. 24% 
“Fertile Pots” and have found them very well adapted for this purpose. 
They are constructed of manure and fertilizer in the right proportion 
for best plant growth, and hold the moisture at the roots of the plants. 
The pots are not removed when the plants are set out. Simply set pot and 
all in the ground and the roots will grow right through the pot which 
slowly breaks down furnishing valuable plant food. Roots are not dis- 
turbed and the plants are not checked. 
No. 2 (about 2” dia.) for lettuce, and flower plants. 
No. 24% (about 214” dia.) for cucumbers, melons, egg plants, tomatoes,
