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 started by planting seed 
during fall. It grows in cool waters, usually 
where there is a slight current, like in springs, 
brooks, small streams or shallow ponds, waters 
1 foot or less in depth. Seed is best planted by 
mixing it with mud and dropping bits of the mix- 
ture here and there in the waters. 3 pounds of 
seed for one Acre. 
Water Cress Seed $1.00 per ounce. 
White Waterlily 
An excellent food and cover plant for fish. 
White Waterlilies are very ornamental and will 
add to the beauty of your waters. 
WHEN AND HOW TO PLANT 
Tubers or rootstocks of White Waterlilies are 
planted during fall. All Waterlilies do best on 
a mud bottom in waters from 1 to 4 feet in depth. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Tubers are very easily planted. Cut a fairly 
straight stick about 5 feet in length which is 
between 1 and 2 inches in thickness. Whittle off 
one side at end to make a flat surface, then drive 
two nails into this flat surface on a slant to make 
a sort of crotch. Place a tuber into this crotch 
and push it into the mud about 3 or 4 inches. 
Plant these about 3 feet apart. These tubers are 
usually planted from a boat, 
Three hundred tubers will plant one acre. 
White Waterlily Tubers $5.00 per 100
