SS SPORES 
Examination of ducks’ stomachs made by the U. 5S. 
Bureau of Biological Survey, have shown Muskgrass 
to be eaten by Mallards, Black Ducks, Pintails, Wid- 
geons, Teals, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, Goldeneyes, 
Ruddy Ducks, Bluebills, and Redheads. It is also 
a good food for domesticated wild ducks, being 
much cheaper than feeding them grain. Muskgrass 
grows so fast that the ducks do not feed it out. 
In planting, throw bits of the Muskgrass cov- 
ered with small seeds or oogonia around your pond 
in 1 to 10 feet of water at the rate of 4 to 5 bush- 
els per acre and next summer you will have 
plenty of food for fish and wild ducks which will 
last throughout the fall until the freeze-up. It is 
also used by muskrats in building their winter 
homes. Muskgrass is furnished for planting only 
for a short time in the fall. Now is the time to 
plant it. Price 5 bu. $30.00; 1\ bu. $7.00. 
OUR LINE IS COMPLETE 
Plants for wildlife that you do not find listed 
here, such as Wapato Duck Potato, Deep 
Water Duck Potato, Giant Burreed Roots, Wa- 
terlily, Horned Pond Plant, American Lotus, 
etc., can be supplied. However, we truthfully 
feel, particularly for the northern states and 
provinces, that best results are had from 
plantings made of these things in the spring 
of the year. We do furnish them in the fall 
on request or for planting in ‘1e South.
