Naias (Bushy Pond weed) 
(Naias Flexilis) 
A good deep water duck food that grows only 
one foot from bottom. Small black seeds are 
hidden in the crotch of every leaf joint. Wild 
Ducks go after it until they’re just cram full. 
Naias grows in one to six feet of water, on 
sand, clay or mud bottom. Parts of the plant 
with ripened seeds are planted during fall by mix¬ 
ing them with a good sticky clay and broadcast¬ 
ing in the desired place. Three bushel will plant 
one acre, 
Naias Plants with seed $6.00 per bushel. 
Water Shield 
Sometimes called Cabomba or Brasenia is an 
important wild duck food. Only during the last 
few years have we been able to grow sufficient 
quantities to supply the demand. Wild Ducks 
like the tender shoots and hibernating buds of 
the Water Shield as well as its seeds. It has a 
very strong root system almost indestructible 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 wonder¬ 
ful cover for game fish. Roots are planted during 
Fall. One thousand Roots will plant an acre. 
Water Shield Roots $ 5.00 per 100 
” ” ” 38.00 per 1000
