Sago (Potamogeton Pectinatus) 
Sago Pondweed 
Good All Around Duck Food 
Early in the season Pondweeds bring Mallards 
and Teal, later the Canvasbacks and other divers. 
In fact, all kinds of wild ducks feed upon the 
Pondweeds. These plants furnish a very large 
percentage of food for wild ducks, producing more 
food than any other family of plants. They are 
more hardy than other aquatic plants and will 
grow under almost any water conditions. 
The most important food plant of the Pondweed 
family is the Sago Pondweed, a submerged plant 
and perennial. When once established in your 
waters insures a permanent feeding ground. Wild 
ducks feed on all parts of the Sago including the 
small white tubers and tender roots which are 
produced in abundance. 
Pondweeds are very highly recommended as 
food and cover plants for bass, trout and other 
game fish. The foliage supports a very large 
amount of insect life as well as providing excel- 
lent cover for the small fry. 
Seed of the Sago Pondweed should be planted 
during fall in waters from 2 to 8 feet in depth 
on almost any bottom, either fresh, stagnant, 
alkali or brackish waters. We guarantee a satis- 
factory growth. 
Forty pounds will plant an acre.
