Guthrians Are Urged To
Plant Shrubs For Birds
By THE GARDNER
At no time during the year is it
so necessary to have in our shrub-
bery border the many varieties of
berried plants as this month and
next month, January and February
With tlie sudden freezes coming
over night, or with the changing
ot the xvind and the frozen, snow-
covered ground, tlie birds are left
without food. Our birds, the birtls
that stay home all the year 'round.
Gentle, ever faithful Robin red-
breast. the flashy, scarlet Cardinal,
little soft, gray cooing doves, and
the quietly beautiful Bluebirds.
What shall we d< to save them?
To in a measure repay the birds
for their songs of rapture that have
filled our gardens with sweetness
and so delighted our hearts.
The answer—plant shrubs, small
trees and vines bearing in profus-
ion berried fruits that remain on
