BIRD SEEDS 
Nothing is more important than the proper selection of food for your bird. Pure, fresh, eee food is necessary at all times. 
We exercise great care in offering the best money can buy. We offer these seeds in bulk only. 
If wanted by mail, add postage at Parcel Post rates. See page 1. 
Prices subject to market changes. 
RAPE—Of the various kinds of seeds used for feeding birds, Rape is the most important. 1 lb. 20c; 3 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. 80c; 
10 lbs. and over, 15c per lb. 
CANARY—Stands next in importance. Our stock is bright, plump, clean and clear from dirt, not the inferior grade very often 
found in the already mixed brands offered in package form. 1 lb. 18c; 3 lbs. 45c; 5 lbs. 65c; 10 lbs. and over, 12c per Ib. 
MILLET—Should form part of the food, especially for finches. It is the cheapest of all seeds, therefore mixed largely in the 
cheap mixtures. 1 lb. 7c; 3 lbs. 20c; 5 lbs. 30ce. 
HEMP—Is the richest of all seeds and should be regarded as a dainty rather than as a food. It has a fattening tendency and 
injures the voice. Give three or four seeds at a time, but never mix with other seeds, as the canary will waste other seeds 
in searching for it, hence the importance of buying the various seeds separately. 1 lb. 20c; 3 lbs. 50c; 5 Ibs. 70c. 
SUNFLOWER—Is the principal seed for parrots. We offer the Russian variety. It tends to give a lustre to the feathers of 
birds, therefore poultry men purchase it for feeding their fowls a few weeks before poultry shows. 1 lb. 15c; 3 lbs. 40c; 
5 lbs. 60c; 10 Ibs, $1.10; 25 lbs. $2.50. 
CUTTLE BONE—Per oz. 15c; 4 lb. 40c; postpaid.
