Birds and Berries 



BI RDS play a very important part in the economy of nature. 

 The fanner and orchardist are indebted to them for the 

 destruction of insects. Then there are those everywhere 

 who love the birds merely for their acquaintance. Both for 

 practical and esthetic reasons, it is essential that the bird popu- 

 lation be increased and protected. 



Nothing will attract the birds more than tangled thickets 01 

 berry bearing shrubs. We make a specialty ofthem. You 

 can make up an order from the following or let us send a col- 

 lection of 100 for jjio.oo.
