Water Shield 
Sometimes called Cabomba or Brasenia is an im¬ 
portant wild duck food. Only during the last few 
years have we been able to grow sufficient quantities 
to supply the demand and thus list it in our liter¬ 
ature. Wild Ducks like the tender shoots and hiber¬ 
nating buds of the Water Shield as well as its seeds. 
It has a very strong root system almost indestruct¬ 
ible by carp. Water Shield grows from the far north 
to the extreme south. It grows best in waters from 
one foot to five feet in depth on a mud bottom. Fresh 
waters, lakes or ponds are most suitable for its 
growth. 
Water Shield has small round leaves, like pond 
lilies (about 2 inches across) and make wonderful 
cover for game fish. Roots are planted from Feb¬ 
ruary through June. One thousand Roots will plant 
an acre.
