upon the roots, seeds and leaves of Wigeon-Grass, It

Wigeon-Grass 
(Ruppia Maritima) 
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 
off 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 $10.00 per bushel.
