Ducksmeat or Duckweeds 
(Lemna Sp.) 
(Makes feed this year, plant early) 
All kinds of Wild Ducks feed upon the Ducks- 
meat. The shallow water feeders make up a 
larger percentage of their food of this plant than 
the divers, because it grows largely in shallow 
waters. It is also important for game fish. 
Surface Floating Ducksmeat is a very small 
plant (less than % inch in size) which floats in 
great clusters upon the surface of the waters. 
They may be planted from June through October. 
These plants should be transplanted into fresh 
waters from 1 to 6 feet in depth over any kind of 
bottom, in ponds or quiet sheltered bays or coves. 
Ducksmeat Plants are indestructible by Carp. 
Just drop a handful of plants into the water 
about three feet apart. Five bushel of plants 
to the acre. 
Ducksmeat Plants, $1.50 per bushel. 
Three Square Rush 
(Scirpus Americanus) 
Of about 150 different rushes belonging to the 
Scirpus family, the Three Square Rush is the 
most important wild duck food. It produces a 
small cluster of meaty seeds that the shallow 
water ducks are fond of. It also makes good 
blinds fer the hunter. 
The Three Square Rush grows well on sandy 
soils on lake margins or along streams, also in 
marshes of firm, rich soils. Wet soils at the 
water’s edge are ideal. Either fresh, alkaline, 
or slightly brackish waters are all right for this 
plant. Seeds may be planted from August 
through September.
