BIRDS AND NATURE is a magazine 

 deserving of extra attention through 

 the summer. It is beautifully illustrated 

 with plates in the three-colored process that 

 Chicago has made famous. The plates in 

 the May number represent the magpie, red- 

 breasted nuthatch, purple martin, ring- 

 necked dove, opossum, raven, all photo- 

 graphed from mounted specimens and the 

 scale of reduction given. Genista and 

 digitalis represent the vegetable kingdom.

More than one-half of our subscribers 

 either have their copies of the magazine 

 bound or return them to us in exchange 

 for bound volumes. This is true of no 

 other periodical in the world. Any sub- 

 scriber whose subscription is not in ar- 

 rears, who sends us his magazines for 

 Vol. VII prepaid, and one new subscrip- 

 tion with $1.50, will receive in return the 

 bound Vol. VII postpaid. Previous 

 volumes may be had on the same con- 

 dition. Thus you can obtain the seven 

 volumes elegantly bound free — simply 

 by putting in a little odd time to secure 

 subscriptions. This offer should take 

 well.

Play with the Birds. 



The birds we mean are lithographed. 

 They are on fifty-two finely enameled cards 

 in natural colors — enclosed in case, with full 

 directions for playing. 



This beautiful "Game of Birds" has 

 just been published, and if there is any- 

 thing neater, nicer or more novel we haven't 

 seen it. 



It's so new — so interesting — you'll cer- 

 tainly like it. Send 2-cent stamp for free 

 sample card. 



What better gift can you make your 

 friends, young or old? It entertains the 

 whole household, and so reasonable, too — 

 only 35 cents, postpaid. 



We will send as Special Offer, Birds 

 AND Nature one year and the game all for 

 $1.60. Address
