WAPATO DUCK POTATO 
RAPID GROWING DUCK COAXER 
The Wapato Duck Potato is a very good all around 
Wild Duck Food. Canada Geese and Swan are also 
very fond of this plant. The species of Wild Ducks 
which will feed upon Wapato depends largely upon 
the water conditions under which it grows. If the 
waters remain nearly the same level the year around, 
Mallards and other shallow water ducks will feed 
upon the tender shoots, tubers and seeds which it 
produces. In places where there is an overflow or 
the water deepens during fall and winter, Canvas- 
backs and other divers will feed upon Wapato. 
As a Muskrat food the Wapato is considered among 
those of the most importance and is often called Rat 
Potato.

(Sagittaria Latifolia) 
WHAT AND WHEN TO PLANT 
Wapato propagates largely by tubers which may 
be planted during Spring or Fall. Tubers planted 
in Spring or Fall will produce fully matured plants 
the following fall. 
WHERE TO PLANT 
This plant is very hardy and will grow well in 
most any inland waters excepting those which are 
very strong of alkali or salts. It does the best in a 
fairly rich soil on damp lowlands, mud flats or in 
water from 1 inch to 1 foot in depth. 
HOW TO PLANT 
The tubers of the Wapato Duck Potato are very 
easily planted, all that is necessary is to step 
into your boots or waders and take a quantity of 
tubers to the place you wish to plant. Then push 
each tuber about one or two inches deep into the 
bottom soil, planting about three feet apart. More 
complete planting instructions sent with order. One 
thousand tubers plant one acre. 
Price, $35.00 per 1,000 tubers; 500 @ $18; $4.50 per 
100. (Delivered Prices)

DEEP WATER DUCK 
POTATO 
(Sagittaria Rigida) 
Another favorite food for all kinds of Wild Ducks. 
The diving ducks feed on it during fall in the 
deeper waters. Shoal water ducks eat it if the 
waters are low during fall. It is a rapid grower 
and produces abundantly of food. It has numerous 
acorn like tubers on its roots just beneath the bot- 
tom soils which the Wild Ducks glut themselves 
with. One can hardly drive the ducks away from a 
good bed of Deep Water Duck Potatoes and if they 
do leave, it is only temporary, they soon return for 
more. 
Plant the tubers during spring or fall in from one 
to five feet of water. A soft mud bottom is best 
and will produce a luxuriant growth next duck 
season. They are very hardy and will thrive in any 
fresh water lake, pond or stream. Changing water 
levels do not affect the growth of these Duck Potata 
plants. 
In planting deep water duck potatoes just fasten 
the tuber to an eight penny nail with a small rubber 
band and drop them in the waters in the desired 
place. One thousand tubers plant one acre.
