DOESN’T THIS SKETCH BRING BACK PLEASANT MEMORIES? An early morning on a marshy lake,—dark shadows of flying 
ducks swooping over,—dropping in to feed in a nearby Wild Rice-fringed slough—your own thrill as you crouch in the reeds 
and watch! 
WHAT BRINGS THEM IN? 
The answer is FOOD! Wild ducks MUST EAT, and during their migratory flights they stop to rest and 
feed along the way,—you or I would do the same on a long trip, wouldn’t we? When ducks stop on the 
waters and marshes, they seek for food—the large plump kernels of Giant Wild Rice, tender luscious 
roots, shoots, tubers of Sago Pond Plant, Wild Celery, Duck Potatoes—just a few of the many important 
natural duck food plants that produce a bountiful harvest of seeds, roots, tubers, or tender crisp foliage, 
which wild ducks love. 
The shortage of ducks, which, according to all reports, we face this year, usually brings forth the first 
remedies resorted to in such a crisis—smaller bag limits, and shorter hunting seasons. ‘These measures, 
while they retard the rate of decrease, do not INCREASE THE DUCK POPULATION. Among our 
country’s sportsmen, there is a big demand for wild ducks—for the exciting sport that duck hunting affords. 
Why not then, put forth every effort to produce MORE DUCKS—increase the supply to meet the demand? 
More nesting, breeding and feeding grounds will result in an increased natural crop of waterfowl. If every 
sportsman, hunting club, and private preserve owner would plant the waters and marshes on his property, 
or those nearby to which he has access, there would be a tremendous increase in natural nesting, breeding 
and feeding grounds for wild ducks, and a tremendous increase in the duck crop. 
Fortunately, where such foods are not now growing, they can be planted very easily, and these hardy foods 
will grow year after year when once established, making permanent, LEGAL, natural feeding grounds. 
We supply both Northern and Southern grown plants; duck foods for fresh, hard and soft waters, salt, 
brackish, and alkaline waters; a complete line, something for all conditions. 
NOW is an ideal time to plan and plant your feeding grounds for wild ducks. We have helped many 
sportsmen, hunting clubs and game commissions throughout the U.S. and Canada, make their places fa- 
forite stopping and feeding grounds for wild ducks. Areas that a few years ago were worthless waste 
places, now planted with our natural wild duck foods, are now attracting thousands of ducks, that swarm 
in to feed on the ripened grains and seeds, tender roots, tubers 
and shoots, as well as the crisp foilage of these natural food 
plants—foods successfully used for over 50 years. 
On the following pages we list the favorite natural foods of wild ducks, wild 
geese, food and shelter for fish, and other wild life. Let us know what you 
want, using handy order blank enclosed, and we'll send materials and plant- 
ing directions promptly.
