Ducksmeat 
Coontail 
Elodea 
All kinds of Wild Ducks 
feed upon the Duckweeds. 
The shallow water feeders 
make up a larger percent¬ 
age of their food of this 
plant than the divers, be¬ 
cause it grows largely in 
shallow waters. It is also 
important for fish. 
SURFACE FLOATING 
DUCKWEEDS 
This is a very small plant 
(less than % inch in size) 
which floats in great clus¬ 
ters upon the surface of the 
waters. 
SUBMERGED FLOATING 
DUCKWEEDS 
Another very small plant 
(less than % inch in size) 
which floats in great 
masses, submerged near the 
bottom. 
COONTAIL PLANTS 
Seeds of the Coontail 
Plant are eaten by many 
species of Wild Ducks, oc¬ 
casionally they will feed up¬ 
on the foliage. This plant 
provides both food and cov¬ 
er for fish. 
ELODEA 
The Elodea is of value as 
a food plant for marsh 
ducks. It has a greater 
value as a food and cover 
plant for fish. It is also a 
very good water purifier. 
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
All of the above plants grow under very similar 
conditions and are transplanted in the same manner 
during the months from April to October. These 
plants should be transplanted into fresh waters from 
1 to 6 feet in depth on any kind of bottom in ponds 
or quiet sheltered bays and coves. The above plants 
are indestructible by Carp. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Just drop a handful of plants into the waters 
about every two feet. 
Five bushels of plants to the acre. 
Price $5.00 per bushel plants. 
$4.00 per bushel 10 bu. lots.
