WISCONSIN AQUATIC NURSERIES, 
SAGO PONDWEED 
BEST ALE ROUND DUCK FOOD 
Early in the season the Sago Pondweed will at¬ 
tract Mallards and Teal, later the Canvasbacks and 
other divers. It’s the most important of water plants 
for both wild ducks and fish. All species of wild 
ducks feed upon its roots, tubers and seeds which 
are produced in abundance. In fact all parts of the 
plant are eaten by the wild ducks, but they cannot 
destroy the growth for it has a very strong root 
system which makes a net work thru the bottom 
soils. Many roots and tubers remain unmolested 
to produce a growth the following year. One plant¬ 
ing will make a permanent growth. Sago Pondweed 
produces more food for the Wild Ducks than any 
other aquatic plant. It is also an important food 
plant for the Muskrats. 
EXCELLENT FOR FISH 
Like the Wild Celery the Sago Pondweed also pro¬ 
vides food, cover and protection for the fish. It 
purifies and clarifies the waters, takes up the poison¬ 
ous gases and puts forth oxygen into the waters. 
Various kinds of insect life deposit their larva on 
these plants which is food for the small fish. The 
Sago Pondweed plants shade and cool the under 
waters and will not only improve the fishing but 
also the quality of the fish. 
WHAT AND WHEN TO PLANT 
The tubers of Sago Pondweed should be planted 
during April, May and early June. They will pro¬ 
duce some food for the Wild Ducks the following 
Fall. These plants have a very strong root system 
and are indestructible by Carp. 
WHERE TO PLANT 
These plants are very hardy and will grow in al¬ 
most any waters except salt waters. On practical¬ 
ly every kind of bottom soil except gravel. They 
are submerged plants and do best in waters from 
2 to 6 feet in depth, altho Sago Pondweed will grow 
in water from 1 to 10 feet in depth. When possible 
plant where there is some mud. 
HOW TO PLANT 
The tubers are planted in the same 
manner as Wild Celery tubers (see how 
to plant on page 9.) Complete plant¬ 
ing instructions are furnished. 
One Thousand Tubers will plant 
an Acre. 
Price $22 per 1,000 tubers, $3 per 100.
