Viburnum for the Birds 
Outside of the value of Viburnums as 
ornamental shrubs, they being one of the 
best, they should be of great value to those 
interested in the growing of food for the 
birds. All the species are very good for this 
purpose. 
Seedlings, when they are 6 inches or a foot 
high, can be transplanted to the edges of 
pasture lands, near to the wood lot and many 
other places, as well as in the shrubbery 
planting in one’s yard, with the result that 
a much larger bird population will be had. 
The seed should be sown in the fall and 
thus stratified. One method of. stratifying 
the seed, is to sow them in rows 3 or 4 
inches apart. Cover this with an inch of 
sand and then 3 or 4 inches of soil. This 
will keep the seed deep enough to be moist 
and to allow the winter freezing to do its 
part. Then the first thing in the spring, 
remove the soil. By using the inch layer of 
sand, you can tell where the seeds are and 
thus will not disturb them. They should 
show germination soon afterwards. 
In all cases of trees and woody shrubs, tha 
seed bed should always be made to stand two 
springs as it often happens that seed will 
germinate after two winters. 
HYPERICUM KALMIANUM 
It is usually found in rocky soils, often in 
some shade and grows to 2 feet high. 
The leaves are glaucous, green, narrow 
and attractive, which makes the plant or- 
namental from spring to autumn but from 
late July and into September its a real beauty 
with its mass of bright yellow flowers. 
It is among the hardiest of the St. John’s- 
worts and should be planted in a well 
drained , partly shaded place.
