Berries That Attract Birds 
B Y PLANTING their natural food you can have your favorite birds with you all season. The table on this page gives 
varieties of trees and shrubs which by U. S. Government field observation are known to attract the more desirable birds. 
The total number of birds seen eating the fruit is given in the second column, except in a few cases where complete infor¬ 
mation is not yet available. Not only for attracting birds, but to keep them away from cultivated fields by providing natural 
food near at hand. For instance, a few Mulberry trees and Shadbush will prove a more attractive fare to birds than Cherry 
trees loaded with cultivated fruit in June. Write us for any detailed information you desire upon the subject. No obligation.
