PICKEREL PLANT 
(Pontederia Cordata) 
A good natural wild duck food, also important as 
a cover plant for game fish, very beautiful and most 
hardy. Seeds of the Pickerel Plant which are pro- 
duced quite abundantly are eagerly sought by the 
wild ducks. Pickerel Plant is distinct in its spike 
of bright blue flowers and its lance-shaped or heart- 
shaped leaves with round bases, it resembles both 
the Wampee Duck Corn and Wapato Duck Potato.

streams and marshes of fresh or slightly brackish 
waters. Root stock can 
be planted from March 
through November with 
very good results, 500 
roots will plant one acre.

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. Planting 
instructions furnished.
