132 Education through Nature 



est in independent field-work by providing Bird Calen- 

 dars and Flower Calendars such as the following, for 

 recording observations on birds and flowers during 

 the year. The form of the calendar may be varied, 

 and places for many more items, such as food and 

 habits of birds, inserted in the calendar. It is best 

 made in the form of a chart to be hung on the wall 

 and variously decorated. 



A Tree Album may be made in a similar way and 

 used for recording the names of trees and other ob- 

 servations regarding time of flowering, shedding of 

 leaves, locality, condition of soil, how to plant them 

 and care for them, etc.
