PERRY’S WILD BIRD SEED 
Feed It to Attract Wild Birds 
Feeding wild birds is a worthy idea that is gaining 
annually in popularity. More and more folks are 
finding in it pleasure and satisfaction the year 
’round. Not only are birds interesting to watch for 
their peculiar, individual antics and friendliness, 
but they destroy untold numbers of insects and eggs 
of insects that would injure prized plants. 
Blended according to the recommendations of the 
Northeastern Bird Banding Association. _ Choice 
seeds, plump and thoroughly recleaned. High grade 
in every respect. It contains Canary, Chick Feed, 
Hemp, Millet, and Sunflower (fine and coarse seeds) 
suitable for small and large birds. We mail quanti¬ 
ties of this mixture all over New England to bird 
lovers. A trial will convince you of its superiority.
