HOTKAPS and HOTENTS 
HOTKAPS and HOTENTS are strong waxed paper cones which form miniature hot houses 
over each plant or hill of seed in the field. They protect from frosts, promote sturdy 
growth and bring crops to maturity two or three weeks earlier. By permitting earlier 
planting and taking the risk out of early crops, they give better vegetables for home 
gardeners and better prices for market growers. 
Ideal for Early Sweet Corn, Melons, Cucumbers and Tomatoes. When properly set Hotkaps 
and Hotents will withstand heavy winds and beating rains. They keep the young plants 
of melons, cucumbers and squash safe from destructive cucumber beetles and protect 
them from bad weather. Corn comes up quicker and grows faster, tomatoes can be set 
5000 or more .. 
Hotkaps protect from frost, wind and insects. 
HOTENTS—targe, Strong, Wire Reinforced. 10/2 x 1412 x 812 in. 
Ideal for melons, summer squash, tomatoes, etc. They stand up well 
in the field and are easily ventilated. (Available only in cartons of 500.)

FERTILE POTS 
For better, earlier crops, grow your plants in these famous manure 
pots. Sow seed in them or transplant young seedlings. Use a lean soil 
and the pot will furnish just the right fertility for best growth. No 
check in transplanting—the pots are not removed but are set out with 
the plant and the roots grow through the sides without being dis- 
turbed. The pots slowly break down, furnishing valuable plant food. 
Easy to use, saves time and labor, excellent for many vegetables and 
flowers. We use thousands every year. 
The pots do not deteriorate in storage and may be kept indefinitely.
