THIS chart measures 22x28 inches, and figures 

 sixty-two representative species of our eigh- 

 teen families of Perching Birds. From Crow 

 to Kinglet, all these figures are photographed to 

 the same scale; and one may therefore instructively 

 compare, at a glance, characteristic members of all 

 our families of Perching Birds. 



This chart has been so highly commended by 

 teachers that we have decided to place it on sale at 

 twenty-five cents per copy, postpaid. Special terms 

 will be made to schools and bird clubs ordering ten 

 or more copies.

Harvest time and what composes the picture? Luscious 

 grapes, golden pumpkins, rustling cornstalks, ciimson 

 apples. Who helped all this harvest to perfection? Why the 

 liirds — they are the farmhands who are seeking grubs and 

 insects early and lat«— the vigilants who dare the storm 

 and wind to gobble caterpillars and all their kin. Now is 

 your turn, "have a heart" and be the host, offer food and 

 shelter, and learn about these from
