WILD RICE SEED 
The seed which we offer for sale is gathered in the northern part of Minnesota. As soon as received, it is put 
in water in cold storage and frozen solid until shipped out. We ship the seed by express, packed in damp moss 
in ventilated packages. Seed shipped in this manner will not heat and will not lose its vitality even if it should 
be in transit over a week. Last year we shipped many thousands of pounds out to places all over the United 
States, which arrived in good condition and gave the best results. 
The Wild Rice Plant is an annual. It bears a large crop of seeds, which fall directly into the water as 
soon as ripe, and lie buried in the mud below until the following spring, when they germinate and produce new 
plants. It grows well almost anywhere in the United States, in fresh-water lakes, rivers and sloughs. It requires 
that the water is fresh, neither quite stagnant nor too swiftly moving. Wild Rice is unequalled as an attraction 
for wildfowl, and is the most suitable plant to grow in lakes and rivers where shooting preserves are maintained. 
The seed does best if sown in water from one to three feet deep, with a soft mud bottom. Sow the seed at 
once when received. 
Price, 20c. per pound. We ship not less than 25 pounds.
