as described exist in your waters then we suggest 
the planting of other duck foods which are suited 
to such places, find them described on the follow¬ 
ing pages. 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Wild Rice Seed may be planted at any time while 
the waters are free from ice. We suggest planting 
as early as possible to give full advantage of the 
growing season so that the expected results may 
be obtained, fully matured plants, lots of feed and 
plenty of ducks. Good seed is important, we supply 
only the best, hardy Giant Wild Rice Seed, guar¬ 
anteed to grow (see guarantee on page 28).

HOW TO PLANT 
Wild Rice seed is very easily planted, all that is 
necessary is to broadcast the seed on the waters 
ranging in depth from 6 inches to 3yi feet. Plant 
where there is a fairly rich bottom soil, scattering 
about one handful of seed to each two or three 
square yards. The seed will immediately sink to 
bottom and within a short time will bury itself in 
the bottom soil. We urge you to plant early as 
possible for in late spring the seed is inclined to 
sprout which makes it necessary to mix the seed 
with mud in order to sink it to bottom. Sprouted 
seeds will float on the waters and is more bother¬ 
some to plant. 
Our supply of wild rice seed is very limited, 
therefore, we suggest that you place your order 
early and be sure of your supply. We will store 
your seed until you wish shipment. Complete plant¬ 
ing instructions are sent with each order. Fifty 
pounds will plant an acre. 
Only 75c per lb., in lots of 10 pounds or more.
