Birds?

shaped in life size, of wood and 
metal construction, and so truly 
hand painted and carv'ed that they 
almost deceive the live birds 
around the home grounds. They 
are unlike any other birds or gar- 
den stakes ever oSered before. 
Ideal Christmas Gifts 
Send them to friends or treat yourself. Com- 
plete with sticks and metal swivel, they form 
ideal ornaments around the home, among the 
house plants, in fern balls, in conservatory or 
living room. Twenty kinds to select from, a 
few of which are Oriole, Blackbird, Northern 
Flicker, Robin, Cardinal, Woodpecker, Bam 
Swallow, Parrot, etc. A collection of 1 2 birds, 
packed in a handsomely varnished and hand 
painted hinged wooden box, will be mailed for 
$5.00 postpaid.

tional feature in the children’s

you next summer— cheerful, friendly, 
musical bird tenants that pay rent by 
contributing to the general joy of living. 
Made 
by the 
Man the 
Birds Love 
Mr. DodeOD, a directorof the American Audubon Asso- 
ciation. has spent 22 years learning how to build bird 
houses that attract the birds. Wrens, blue-birds, martins, 
each must have its own especial st.'le house. The right 
kind— the Dodson Kind— brings back the bird families year 
after year. Their perfection has been a labor of love. 
If you want the birds next summer, get your houses now 
and set them up to “weather.” The birds like them 
better. 
The Ideal Christmas Gift 
A Dodson Bird House is an inexpensive gift, most ap- 
preciated by nature loving friends. Cost from $1.60 to $12. 
The wren house illustrated can be enjoyed by every one 
who has a tree to hang it on. Entire collection described 
in cntnlog, with prices. Includes bird baths, winter feed-

birds to your garden. With it we send, also free, a beau- 
tiful picture, in color, from “Nature Neighbors,’* worthy
