Plants to Attract Birds 
In planting trees, shrubs and vines about a place, it is well to bear in mind those 
varieties which, on account of their seeds and fruit, attract the birds; and it is advisable 
to include some of these sorts in your planting. Birds play an important part in the economy 
of nature and are an attractive feature of home surroundings. 
Persons interested in Game Preserves, should give attention to the varieties listed 
below as attractive to game birds. The subject of Game Preserves is too large to present 
in detail here. We shall be very glad to give special detailed information however to persons 
interested. 
A screen of mixed deciduous shrubs, specially selected to 
attract birds, surrounding a rose and perennial garden. Old 
fashioned charm in an entirely new-fashioned setting. 
Home gardeners who have had crops damaged by such birds as crows and sparrows 
can gain protection by planting nearby the varieties of shrubs upon which those particular 
bird-pests feed, and thus keep them away from the garden itself. 
Below we give a list of those trees, shrubs and vines which are fruit-bearing and 
furnish food for Birds; also a list of the birds which feed on the various kinds. The des- 
criptions of the plants will be found in this catalog, on pages referred to below.
