Attract the Birds 
Many of the most desirable Trees, Shrubs and Vines bear ornamental fruits 
which attract the birds. In addition to the birds' own personal charms, they are 
a great benefit, feeding freely on injurious insects. We give a list of a number of 
our native songsters which will frequent gardens where the following Trees, Shrubs 
and Vines abound. It is quite worth while to bear this in mind when making your 
selections of stock.

Bird Houses 
We have designed a number of attractive Bird-houses suitable for attaching 
to trees, arbors and houses. Many of our native birds quickly recognize human 
friendliness and nest in these improvised homes. To have native birds frequent 
one’s garden during their nesting season gives intimate opportunity to study the 
birds at close range. Photographs and prices of these Bird-houses submitted on 
request. They are on view at the Nursery. 
Bird Fountains and Baths 
We offer many designs in bird baths and fountains made of concrete-stone. 
Photographs and prices sent on request or, better, visit the Nursery and see the 
different designs.
