COVER PLANTS 
BURREED 
Is a valuable plant to have growing in your 
marsh. Seeds which resemble kernels of corn, 
shell from the large prickly burr during fall and 
are eagerly eaten by Marsh Ducks. 
Burreed grows from 3 to 5 feet in height and 
during early summer makes ideal nesting places 
for the Wild Ducks, also provides blinds for the 
hunter during fall. 
CATTAILS 
These plants grow to be 5 
to 7 feet high and make good 
blinds. Cattail plants rank 
very high as a food, also cov- 
er plant for the Muskrats. 
REEDGRASS 
Makes the very best blinds 
for hunters. It grows from 
5 to 8 feet with numerous 
long narrow leaves, during 
late fall in the North, Wild 
Ducks will seek shelter from 
the cold winds among the 
Reedgrass. It is also of im- 
portance for the Muskrat.

BULRUSH 
The Bulrush will grow in 
waters having very sandy 
bottoms where other vegeta- 
tion cannot be grown. It pro- 
vides excellent blinds for the 
hunter and good shelter for 
the Ducks. 
WHEN AND WHERE 
TO PLANT 
The Burreed, Cattail and 
Reedgrass grow best on a 
fairly rich soil either on wet 
lowlands or in waters from 
1 to 18 inches in depth. Bulrush will grow on 
any kind of bottom except stone, in waters from 
1 inch to 3 feet in depth. The roots of these plants 
should be transplanted during May thru August. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Slip on your boots, take a spade or digging shovel 
and a quantity of roots to the place you are going 
to plant. In the shallow waters about three feet 
apart, take up a shovel full of soil and place 1 root 
in each hole, then replace the soil and press it firmly 
into place with your boot. One Thousand Roots will 
plant one Acre. 
PRICE 
$3.00 per 100 Roots. 
$25.00 per 1000 Roots.
