Wapato Duck Potato 
EXCELLENT DUCK COAXER 
The Wapato Duck Po¬ 
tato is a very good all 
around Wild Duck Food. 
Canada Geese and Swan 
are also very fond of this 
plant. The species of 
Wild Ducks which will 
feed upon Wapato de¬ 
pends largely upon the 
water conditions under 
which it grows. If the 
waters remain nearly 
the same level the year 
around, Mallards and 
other shallow water 
ducks will feed upon the 
tender shoots, tubers 
and seeds which it pro¬ 
duces. In places where jjuck Potato (Sagutaria 
there is an overflow or Latifoiia) 
the water deepens during fall and winter, Canvas- 
backs and other divers will feed upon Wapato. 
As a Muskrat food the Wapato is very good. 
WHAT AND WHEN TO PLANT 
Wapato propagates largely by tubers which 
may be planted during fall. Tubers planted this 
year will produce fully matured plants the fol¬ 
lowing fall. 
WHERE TO PLANT 
This plant is very hardy and will grow well in 
most any inland waters excepting those which 
are very strong of alkali or salts. It does the 
best in a fairly rich soil on damp lowlands, mud 
flats or in water from 1 inch to 1 foot in depth. 
The tubers of the Wapato Duck Potato are very 
easily planted, all that is necessary is to step into 
your boots or waders and take a quantity of tub¬ 
ers to the place you wish to plant. Then push 
each tuber about one or two inches deep into the 
bottom soil, planting about three feet apart.
