WATER SHIELD 
Sometimes called Brasenia is an important wild 
duck food. Only during the last few years have we 
been able to grow sufficient quantities to supply the 
demand and thus list it in our literature. Wild Ducks 
like the tender shoots and hibernating buds of the 
Water Shield as well as its seeds. It has a very 
strong root system almost indestructible by carp. 
Water Shield grows from the far north to the ex- 
treme south. It grows best in waters from one 
foot to five feet in depth on a mud bottom. Fresh 
waters, lakes or ponds are most suitable for its 
growth. 
Water Shield has small round leaves, like pond 
lilies (about 2 inches across) and make wonderful 
cover for game fish. Roots are planted from Feb- 
ruary through November. One thousand Roots will 
plant an acre.

The Naias or Bushy Pondweed is an important 
wild duck food, all parts of the plant are eaten by 
them. It grows in waters ranging in depth from 1 
foot to 6 feet, on either sand, clay or mud bottom. 
Naias is a strictly fresh water plant. It grows en- 
tirely submerged, seldom ever exceeding one foot in 
height and makes a sort of soft green carpet of moss 
over the bottom.
