Wild Rice 
Mallards, Pintails, 
Blackducks, Teal, Wid¬ 
geon and Canada Geese 
fly hundreds and hun¬ 
dreds of miles to the 
Wild Rice Marshes. Dur¬ 
ing Fall they find the 
ripened grains in great 
abundance, also shelter 
and hiding places among 
the tall growth. If there 
are several Wild Rice 
marshes in the vicinity, 
great numbers of these 
waterfowl will be seen 
passing from one marsh 
to the other. In the north 
only the freezing water 
will drive them out. In 
the south they will stay on these good feeding 
grounds throughout the entire winter. 
A field of Wild Rice once established makes a 
permanent feeding ground, for w r ild rice reseeds 
itself from year to year. 
Best places for planting wild rice are usually 
in sloughs, marshy lakes or ponds. In bays or 
coves on larger lakes, streams or rivers where it 
will be protected from waves and strong currents. 
Wild rice does the best in fresh waters from 6 
inches to 3 feet deep where there is a mud bottom. 
Fall is the time nature has provided for the 
planting of wild rice, it will lie dormant until 
Spring and then produce a growth of food for the 
coming season. Best results will be obtained if 
planting is made when ducks are not plentiful on 
your waters, plant now or place your order and 
we will reserve the seed in an imitation of its nat¬ 
ural state until the Fall flight is over and then 
forward same for immediate planting. Our seed 
is the best obtainable, giant seed of high germi¬ 
nation; the wild rice which we guarantee will 
grow. Forty pounds of seed plants one acre.
