Watching the Birds on the Lawn at Bird Lod&e 
Trees and Shrubs that will Attract the Birds 
You can encourage the birds to your place by planting the shrubs and trees 
that they like. 
The shrubs and trees enumerated here provide food in abundance for the birds 
and plantings of these beautiful, growing trees and shrubs are recommended. I 
have spent practically a life time collecting these varieties. 
These shrubs are all hardy, and are really more beautiful than any other shrubs 
for the reason that they have first the bud, then the flowers, and then the berry. 
The varieties are so varied that they furnish a complete supply of food for the 
birds, practically the year around. All of these shrubs and trees will thrive 
generally throughout the United States.
