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 disappoint- 
ment 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 con- 
serving soil moisture and preventing it from baking. They are especially recom- 
mended for vine crops and are ideal for early sweet corn growers as they permit 
earlier planting and earlier crops.

F E RTI L E P (@] TS—for Better, Earlier Crops 
These pots have repeatedly produced better, earlier vegetables and are 
used in large numbers by practical, successful growers. Both sizes are 
excellent for cucumbers, melons, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, etc., and 
the No. 3’s are fine for squash. 
We now grow and ship our own potted vegetable plants in No. 2% 
“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 
disturbed and the plants are not checked. 
These pots do not deteriorate so may be kept indefinitely.
