COONTAIL PLANTS 
Seeds of the Coontail Plant are eaten 
by many species of Wild Ducks, they also 
feed upon the foliage. This plant pro- 
vides both food and cover for fish. It’s a 
rapid growing plant and makes consid- 
erable food in a short time. 
April to October. 
Coontail 
(Ceratophyllum Demersum) 
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
Planting of these two kinds can be made from 
They grow best on a mud bottom 
in one to five feet of water, preferably in small 
ponds, sloughs or quiet bays on larger lakes. 
lay a handful of plants on the waters and push 
them into the bottom soils with a paddle. 
PRICE—COONTAIL $9.00 per bushel plants. 
ELODEA $9.00 per bushel plants. 
ELODEA 
The Elodea is of value as a food plant 
for marsh ducks. It has a great value as 
a food and cover plant for fish. It is also 
a very good water purifier. Like the 
Coontail it grows very rapidly. Once 
growing in those waters it will be per- 
manent.

Dear Mr. Coon: 
We drove up to the Lake yesterday to inspect our job of 
planting. The rice has sprouts from one inch to five inches 
and the tubers have sprouted and are coming through the mud 
about an inch. I am sorry that we are so unfamiliar with the 
other seeds, etc., to know what is happening to them, but I am 
sure that they are doing all right. We sure are more than 
pleased with the results, thanks to you. 
Very truly yours, 
SAM B. MERRYMAN 
DUCKSMEAT 
OR DUCKWEEDS 
All kinds of Wild 
Ducks feed upon the 
Ducksmeat. T h e 
shallow water feed- 
ers make up a larger 
percentage of their 
food of this plant 
than the divers, because it grows large- 
ly in shallow waters. It is also im- 
portant for fish. 
SURFACE FLOATING 
DUCKSMEAT 
This is a very small plant (less than 
Y% inch in size) which floats in great 
clusters upon the surface of the waters. 
SUBMERGED FLOATING 
DUCKSMEAT 
Another very small plant (less than 
% inch in size) which floats in great 
masses, submerged near the bottom. 
Also known as Evergreen Duckweed.

Mr. William O. Coon, 
Game Food Nurseries, 
Oshkosh, Wisconsin 
Dear Mr. Coon: 
You may recall that you furnished us last spring with four 
thousand Sago Pondweed Tubers prepared for planting with 
rubber bands and nails attached. We had practically a 100% 
result from this planting. 
We planted about half of them in a pothole which the ducks 
had always deserted after the opening day for the lakes on the 
property, and this year the ducks kept coming back to the pot- 
hole week after week, obviously on account of the feed. 
Very truly yours, 
W. W. CLARKE 
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
The above plants grow under very similar condi- 
tions and are transplanted in the same manner 
during the months of June to October. These 
plants should be transplanted into fresh waters from 
1 to 6 feet in depth on any kind of bottom in ponds 
or quiet sheltered bays and coves. The above plants 
are indestructible by Carp. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Just drop a handful of 
plants into the waters about 
every two feet. 
Five bushels of plants to 
the acre.
