NAIAS—Bushy Pondweed 
The Naias or Bushy Pondweed is an important 
wild duck food, all parts of the plant are eaten by 
them. It grows in waters ranging in depth from 1 
foot to 6 feet, on either sand, clay or mud bottom. 
Naias is a strictly fresh water plant. It grows en- 
tirely submerged, seldom ever exceeding one foot in 
height and makes a sort of soft green carpet of moss 
over the bottom. 
This plant is considered 
very important as a food, 
cover and oxygenating plant 
for game fish. It also helps 
clarify the waters. 
Plants containing seed 
should be planted during 
August to November. They 
are easily planted by mix- 
ing them with clay and 
broadcasting into the water. 
Four bushel plants an acre.

WATER CRESS 
The Water Cress is used largely by breeders of 
Wild Ducks, who consider it very valuable as a food 
plant for their Duck Farms. It grows very rapidly. 
WHEN, WHERE AND HOW 
TO PLANT 
Water Cress may be start- 
ed either by planting seed or 
transplanting plants from 
April to July. It grows in 
cool waters, usually where 
there is a slight current, like 
in springs, brooks, small 
streams or shallow ponds. 
In transplanting plants sim- 
ply set them out by hand in 
shallow waters 1 foot or less 
in depth. Seed is best planted 
by mixing it with mud and 
dropping bits of the mixture 
here and there in the waters. 
Three pounds of seed for one 
acre.
