Naias (Bushy Pondweed) 
For Mallards, 
Teal and 
Pintails 
VALUABLE FISH FOOD AND COVER 
Naias (Naias flexilis) is an especially import¬ 
ant food for Mallards, Pintails, Green-winged 
and Blue--winged Teal. These birds congregate 
over the Naias beds to feed on the crisp, tender 
plants, which grow 6 to 10 inches high carpeting 
the bottom of ponds. Black Ducks, Gadwalls 
and Widgeon also feed eagerly on this plant 
whenever they can get it. Naias is also valu¬ 
able for fish food and cover. Naias should be 
planted in quiet or slow-moving, fresh or slightly 
brackish water from 1 to 6 feet in depth, on al¬ 
most any kind of bottom soil, except rocky. Does 
well over most the U. S, and Canada. 
These plants must be freshly gathered for each 
shipment, and are gathered only when the 
plants are coverd with the countless numbers 
of well-ripened small brown seeds from which 
it reproduces. Plant 5 bushels per acre. 
Prices: Plants with ripe seed $7 bu.; 10 bu. $5 bu. 
American Lotus Lily 
Its huge creamy, yellow flowers are greatly 
admired. Seed eaten by Mallards and other 
ducks. Its big, round floating leaves make shel¬ 
ter where fish are safe from herons and king¬ 
fishers. The seed naturally lies dormant many 
years before germinating. Lotus beds are now 
easily established by using Terrell's seed, chemi¬ 
cally treated to insure quick germination. Plant 
5 lbs. seed per acre in IV 2 to 3 ft. of water over 
rich bottom. Clay subsoil preferred.
