SALT WATER EEL GRASS 
The Eel Grass is one of the important Wild Duck 
food plants which we supply that will grow in waters 
which are salty. All kinds of Wild Ducks will feed 
upon the seeds and foliage. 
WHEN, WHERE AND 
HOW TO PLANT 
Plants of the Eel Grass 
are transplanted during 
June or July in quiet, shal- 
low salt waters covered at 
low tide. In transplanting 
these simply set them out 
in shallow waters during 
low tide by making a hole 
in the soil and placing the 
roots in it; then replace the 
soil pressing it firmly about 
the plant. 
Price $12.00 per bushel. 
$11.00 per bu. 5 bu. lots.

SALICORNIA 
For Tide Waters (Salt) 
A real salt water duck food. Due to the glassy 
appearance of the stems it is called Glasswort. 
The plants are leafless but have numerous joints 
of the stems. Glasswort also thrives in strong 
alkaline waters. It produces abundantly of seed 
which the wild ducks are very fond of. Mallard, 
Blackducks and Sprig in particular like it, but 
all species of wild ducks eat it. 
Salicornia or Glasswort may be planted during 
April to November by placing the plants in the soil 
in the desired place. It grows well on any fairly 
good soil, places exposed at low tide and covered at 
high tide, or very shallow alkaline waters. Three 
bushels will plant one acre, an acre will provide an 
abundance of duck food and spread to other suitable 
nearby places. Plant several small beds. 
This plant has long been known as a good duck 
food, but until now has not been on the market 
or available for replanting. 
Salicornia Plants $8.00 per bushel.
