Examination of ducks’ stomachs made by the U. S. 
Bureau of Biological Survey, have shown Muskgrass 
to be eaten by Mallards, Black Ducks, Pintails, Wid- 
geons. Teals, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, Goldeneyes, 
Ruddy Ducks, Bluebills, and Redheads. It is also 
a good food for domesticated wild ducks, being 
much cheaper than feeding them grain. Muskgrass 
grows so fast that the ducks do not feed it out. 
In planting, throw biis of the Muskgrass cov- 
ered with small seeds or oogonia around your pond 
at the rate of 4 to 5 bushels per acre and next sum- 
mer you will have plenty of food for fish and wild 
ducks which will last throughout the fall until the 
freeze-up. It is also used by muskrats in building 
their winter homes. Muskgrass is furnished for 
planting only for a short time in the fall. Now is the 
time to plant it. Price 5 bu. $25.00; 1 bu. $6.00. 
OUR LINE IS COMPLETE 
Plants for wildlife that you do not find listed 
here, such as Wapato Duck Potato, Deep 
Water Duck Potato, Giant Burreed Roots, Wa- 
terlily. Horned Pond Plant. American Lotus, 
etc., can be supplied. However, we truthfully 
feel, particularly for the northern states and 
provinces, that best results are had from 
plantings made of these things in the spring 
of the year. We do furnish them in the fall 
on request.
