. Crinkle Plant Covers are probably the 
Plant Cove Ss strongest paper plant protectors yet de- 
veloped. Recommended for starting al- 
most any of the vegetables or flowers, 
but especially adapted to vining plants such as melons. 
Plant covers have been used most extensively in California and 
their use is gradually extending to other states. Results vary 
according to locality and experience of growers in their use. 
Preferably some experience is desirable, mainly in the way of 
supplying moisture to the seed or seedlings, and the removal of 
weeds so that plants will not be stunted in their growth. When 
the plants are about 1 or 1% inches high a small slit is made in 
the leeward side of the cap to allow air to enter and harden off 
the plants. Later this opening is enlarged and as the plant 
grows the cap is removed entirely.
