BERRY-BEARING SHRUBS 
These are ornamental shrubs which have beautiful blossoms in spring—followed by 
attractive berries in summer, fall, and winter, providing natural bird food. They 
attract birds which are your best help in curbing insect damage. Plan to have a 
border of berry-bearing shrubs—FOR BIRDS AND SONG, FOR BETTER FRUITS AND 
MORE BEAUTY.
