The Eel Grass is the only 
important Wild Duck food 
plant which we supply that 
will grow in waters which 
are salty. All kinds of Wild 
Ducks will feed upon the 
seeds and foliage. 
WHEN, WHERE AND 
HOW TO PLANT 
Plants of the Eel Grass 
are transplanted during 
June in quiet, shallow, salt 
waters covered at low tide. 
In transplanting these sim¬ 
ply set them out in shallow 
waters during low tide by 
making a hole in the soil 
and placing the roots in it; 
then replace the soil press¬ 
ing it firmly about the 
plant. 
Price $15 per bushel. 
Muskgrass 
A few bushels of Musk¬ 
grass planted during late 
summer or fall will produce 
an excellent feeding place 
for the Wild Ducks the fol¬ 
lowing season. They feed 
upon the foliage as well as 
the many small tubers 
which are produced. Both 
Marsh Ducks and Diving 
Ducks feed upon Musk¬ 
grass. One will also in¬ 
crease the sport with rod 
and reel, for Muskgrass is 
Muskgrass a valuable food and cover 
plant for fish. 
Broadcast bits of the plants containing (oogonia) 
seed spores upon the waters anytime from June to 
December. Muskgrass grows in fresh or alkaline 
waters from 2 to 12 feet in depth on almost any kind 
of bottom. One requirement is that the waters con¬ 
tain some lime which will be indicated by shells or 
shell bearing creatures such as snails or clams in the 
waters. Four Bushels will plant an Acre.
