Wapato Duck: Potato 
RAPID GROWING DUCK COAXER 
The Wapato Duck Potato 
is a very good all around 
Wild Duck Food. Canada 
Geese and Swan are also 
very fond of this plant. The 
species of Wild Ducks which 
will feed upon Wapato de¬ 
pends largely upon the wat¬ 
er conditions under which it 
grows. If the waters re¬ 
main nearly the same level 
the year around, Mallards 
and other shallow water 
ducks will feed upon the 
tender shoots, tubers and 
seeds which it produces. In 
places where there is an 
overflow or the water deep¬ 
ens during fall and winter, 
Canvasbacks and other div¬ 
ers will feed upon Wapato. 
As a Muskrat food the Wapato is excellent. 
WHAT AND WHEN TO PLANT 
Wapato propagates largely by tubers which 
should be planted during April, May and June. 
Tubers planted in spring will produce fully matured 
plants the following fall. 
WHERE TO PLANT 
This plant is very hardy and will grow well in 
most any inland waters excepting those which are 
very strong of alkali or salts. It does the best in a 
fairly rich soil on damp lowlands, mud flats or in 
water from 1 inch to 1 foot in depth. 
HOW TO PLANT 
The tubers of 
the Wapato 
Duck Potato are 
very easily 
planted, all 
that is neces¬ 
sary is to step 
into your boots 
or waders and 
take a quantity 
of tubers to the 
place you wish 
to plant. Then 
push each tuber 
about one or 
two inches deep 
into the bottom 
soil, planting 
about three feet 
apart. More
