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 sizable 
cluster of meaty seeds which the shallow water 
ducks are very fond of. It also makes good blinds 
for the hunter. Three-Square Rush gets it name 
from the three-sided or triangle-shaped stock. 
The Three-Square Rush grows well on sandy soils 
on lake margins or along streams. It grows in 
marshes and firm rich soils as well as sand. Just wet 
soils at the water’s edge are ideal, or in waters to 
one foot in depth, never 
deeper. It grows in either 
fresh water areas or in 
brackish or moderately al- 
kaline places. In ordering 
specify for salt or fresh 
waters. 
Seeds or tubers of the 
Three Square Rush may be 
planted during the fall or 
spring months. Complete 
planting instructions fur- 
nished. Price, Three 
Square Rush Seeds $1.50 
per pound; Tubers $4.50 
per 100, $18.00 per 500, 
$36.00 per 1000.
