WATER SHIELD 
Sometimes called Brasenia is an important wild 
duck food. Only during the last few years have we 
been able to grow sufficient quantities to supply the 
demand and thus list it in our literature. Wild Ducks 
like the tender shoots and hibernating buds of the 
Water Shield as well as its seeds. It has a very 
strong root system almost indestructible by carp. 
Water Shield grows from the far north to the ex- 
treme south. It grows best in waters from one 
foot to five feet in depth on a mud bottom. Fresh 
waters, lakes or ponds are most suitable for its 
growth. 
Water Shield has small round leaves, like pond 
lilies (about 2 inches across) and make wonderful 
cover for game fish. Roots are planted from Feb- 
ruary through November. One thousand Roots will 
plant an acre. 
PRICE 
Water Shield Roots $5.00 per 100. 
Water Shield Roots $36.00 per 1000.
