I 



It is a Curious Fact 



that a large number of our noted 

 botanists were students of birds 

 earlier in life. Many of them 

 continue to be bird-lovers and 

 no doubt many ornithologists 

 would like to know more about 

 the plant world. If you are one 

 of the latter send a 2-cent stamp 

 for a sample copy of
