HOUSE AND GARDEN 
March, 1912 
OLD LITTLE NECK 
I s BEING Transformed. "From the Pennsylvania Terminal to Little Neck in 23 Minutes” started 
the movement several years ago. The delightful homes already built there speak for themselves — 
and the place. 
Nature was generous in affording a most charming outlook. The residence section is on a hill which 
rises abruptly from the low ground at the railroad station and from the elevation one commands a 
sweeping view over Long Island Sound and the whole surrounding country. 
We have for sale here houses thoroughly modern in every respect, ranging in price from $7,000 to 
$17,500, and we are equipped to build others to order for those who might prefer to choose a par¬ 
ticular location and plan a home for their individual tastes. For such, the company’s architect is at the 
service of its customers. 
Photographs and descriptions of these houses will be mailed on request. They average three min¬ 
utes’ walk from the station and the same distance from the trolley that connects across the Blackwell's 
Island Bridge. The property, like the houses, is improved on modern standards with macadamized road¬ 
ways, concrete sidewalks, trees and hedges. The prices for the houses advertised are low and terms 
can lie arranged to suit purchasers.

A BOOK ON BIRDS 
by 
Augustus Wight Bomberger 
Illustrated with 32 Photographs from Life 
The result of years of toil with the camera 
by William L. Baily 
AND FRONTISPIECE IN COLORS 
A love of nature must inevitably start from 
some first point of individual contact, and the 
realm of birds is quite sufficient to meet this re¬ 
quirement. 
In this work the author’s plan is to take the 
reader through field excursions, in which he notes 
the haunts of different birds and describes their 
songs, calls, colors, and other characteristics. To 
those who take pleasure in wandering through 
field and wood observing bird life and noting 
down their experiences, and to the many who 
have a more intimate knowledge of the subject, 
this book will prove intensely interesting. 
The work contains a clever Field Key on a new 
plan, which will enable anyone to classify properly the birds of the 
Eastern States.
