Purple Finches at a Window Feeding Station 
“Planting to “Attract “Birds 
Cape Cod is rapidly becoming widely noted for 
the surprisingly wide variety of birds that come here 
all through the year. 
Hundreds of home owners have installed bird 
feeding stations to their great enjoyment, and great 
is the friendly rivalry as to who has the most or the 
rarest feathered friends. 
Mr. Alfred E. Runk of Ramsey, New Jersey, one 
of the country’s leaders in ornithological and 
horticultural research, recently suggested that Cape 
Cod is so ideally equipped in natural flora and 
climate that this section may readily become a 
widely renowned regional bird sanctuary. He recom- 
mends extensive planting here of those kinds of 
trees and shrubs known to attract and promote 
bird life.

many years recommended, grown and included in 
our home grounds plantings many such plants, and 
we shall increase that number. Use them wherever
