beautiful shrub, perfectly hardy in 
Minnesota. Has light green leaves

FOOD FOR 
THE BIRDS 
Five Great Bird Food Bearing 
Shrubs and Trees 
Everyone loves the birds and we like to see them have plenty to eat. Now 
we can very easily beautify our grounds and supply food to the birds at the 
same time if we plant beautiful shrubs which bear berries and fruit which the 
birds like as food. We have many of these shrubs planted about our grounds 
and the birds do a good job of eating the fruit. 
We know if we have strawberries, currants, or raspberries in our garden. that 
we have a struggle to keep the fruit from the birds. If we have shrubs and 
trees in our yard that bear fruit that the birds like, they will be apt to eat 
these fruits and leave the other fruits alone. 
We have taken notice of what shrubs and tree fruits the birds particularly 
like and we advise the planting of these shrubs and trees and we have listed 
them in the order in which they ripen and are eaten by the birds.
