BANANA WATERLILY 
(Castalia Mexicana) 
This is a very fine all around wild duck food for 
warm climate. It does not do well in the North. 
Banana Waterlily plants are grown on our south- 
ern nurseries for planting in southern waters. All 
kinds of Wild Ducks, either shallow feeders or 
divers feed upon this plant. The seeds buds, tubers 
and runners are eaten, in fact all parts of the 
plant have been found in duck’s stomachs. 
WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
Young plants of the Banana Waterlily can be 
planted at any time of the year. A soft mud bot- 
tom is preferable, where the waters remain from 
one foot or five feet in depth. Once growing in 
those waters, they will be permanent. Are also 
very ornamental, and valuable for game fish. 
HOW TO PLANT 
The root stocks are easily planted. Just fasten 
a 40 or 60 penny nail to each with a No. 8 rubber 
band. The nail is simply an anchor and will hold 
them to bottom until the roots take hold in the soil. 
PRICE 
1000 Root Stocks ........ $75.00
