Of Importance to You! 



ASA SUBSCRIBER or reader of ** Birds and 

 Nature'* you should be the first to know of 

 its transfer from A. W. Mumford & Company, who 

 hare been its pub Ushers for several years. The new 

 publishers have large plans for the magazine and ask 

 your courteous patience until they can be worked 

 out. The March i^uc was omitted altogether. This 

 April number is the last to be published over the 

 old name. The May number will be ready by 

 the 15th of the month, and will be printed 

 throughout, cover, advertisements and all — on coated 

 paper. The new cover de«ign is by Hapgood and 

 is resplendent with a flaming "Cardinal" or "Red 

 Bird** in colors. In addition to the eight (8) 

 exquisite Nature picture in natural colors which have 

 made "Birds and Nature*' famous, each number 

 of the NEW magazine will be beautifully illustrated 

 with half-tones. The text will consist of Nature 

 studies and sketches, records of Nature observations, 

 and descriptive articles that interpret the wonder and 

 beauty of "God's out-of-doors." 



Trial Subscription Free. 



If you or one of your friends will send us the names 

 and addresses of fifteen (Ifi) Nature lovers likely to become 

 subscribers to "Birds and Nature,** we will send you 

 a three months "trial subscription** free of charge. 

 If your subscription has not expired we will enter the 

 "trial subscription** in the name of a friend. This 

 offer is good until May 20, 1907, and is made to old 

 subscribers and readers of the present issue and should 

 be taken advantage of at once. The "trial subscrip- 

 tion" will then begin with the May number. 



Will you join us in an effort to make " Birds 

 and Nature" known among Nature lovers? We 

 want also your criticisms and suggestions for the better- 

 ment of the magazine.
