LAND BIRDS
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
An illustrated, pocket text book that enables any one to quickly identify any song or insectivorous bird found east of the Rocky Mountains. It describes their habits and peculiarities; tells you where to look for them and describes their nests, eggs and songs.
EVERY BIRD IS SHOWN IN COLOUR, including the females and young where the plumage differs, from watercolour drawings by the four-colour process. The illustrations are the BEST, the MOST ACCURATE, and the MOST VALUABLE ever printed in a bird book.
“LAND BIRDS” is the most popular and has had the LARGEST SALE (over 200,000 copies) of any bird book published in this country. It is used and recommended by our leading ornithologists and teachers. 230 pages.
Bound in flexible linen and leather
[230]
WESTERN BIRD GUIDE

A coloured illustration of each subject appears on a page, with full description of appearance, season, nesting and food habits, and eggs.
A full and complete index is provided, and valuable suggestions for systematic bird study. The colour work is of the highest quality, and is done after bird portraits that are accurate in all respects.
Prepared by a recognized authority, the book, is perhaps the finest pocket bird manual obtainable.
Printed in convenient form to slip into the back pocket, so as to be available for instant use.

The pictures show more than 230 birds in colour, every species found in our range. They exceed in number those in any other bird book. In quality they cannot be surpassed—exquisite gems, each with an attractive background, typical of the habitat of the species.
“LAND BIRDS” and “WATER BIRDS” are the only books, regardless of price, that describe and show in colour every bird. 250 pages, neatly boxed.
Bound in flexible paper-lined cloth or in strong, flexible imitation leather

FLOWER GUIDE WILD FLOWERS EAST OF THE ROCKIES
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
With 320 Flowers in Colour, Painted by the Author
This volume has been carefully prepared with two objects in view—to serve the greatest number of persons in the greatest possible way, and still have a volume that can be carried comfortably in the pocket. Most of the coloured paintings have been made from living plants, the balance from herbarium specimens. The text and pictures incorporate just those points that will serve to identify each flower as it is most likely to be found. The introductory pages give the life cycle of a plant from seed to seed.

Each of these four volumes covers the most interesting American varieties of the subject treated.
A general introduction to each subject is followed by detailed descriptions of the most interesting families, and of the more important members in each group.

This is the first Butterfly Book of pocket size giving each species in its natural colours. It is uniform in style and binding to the popular Pocket Nature Guides series, and makes a valuable companion volume to these books.
Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg, is the greatest butterfly authority in the country, and has had more experience in the mounting and artistic posing of moths and butterflies than any other living man. The plates in the Pocket Guide are entirely new and reproduced by a special process under Dr. Holland’s personal supervision, from specimens in his own collection.
This book is the most authoritative and valuable guide for field use ever published. It makes the identifications of our common butterflies a simple matter for amateurs.
Illustrations of 250 butterflies in their natural colours.

THE WESTERN FLOWER GUIDE
By CHARLES FRANCIS SAUNDERS
This little volume, uniform with the Pocket Nature Guides, is a comprehensive and compact treatment of the flower life between the Mississippi and the Pacific coast. Its coloured illustrations and the accompanying text make it easy to identify any specimen.
Flowers are described in family groups, and are thus, by a study of resemblances and contrasts, made easier to master. The colour work is attractive and accurate, being reproduced from the work of well known flower portrait painters. The book is prepared by authorities, and the needs of the general public have been considered in the manner of presentation. A bibliography is provided for readers who wish to undertake a more detailed study. Of convenient pocket size, it is an ideal handbook of flower information.
Bound in flexible linen and leather

HOMING WITH THE BIRDS
A Word and Picture Story of Bird Life in its Intimate Aspects By GENE STRATTON-PORTER
This book contains the intimate observations of a bird lover who has been, uninvited, at many “at homes” of the birds. She made her visits with her camera, and the book is unique for its numerous unusual photographs of live birds taken nesting, feeding, and singing, revealing intimate aspects of bird life that have rarely been treated so successfully before. Mrs. Porter’s eloquent and enlivening style has made the birds as entertaining as any of her other characters. They are lifelike and amusing, and their comedies and tragedies, their habits and daily life, are presented in a way to leave the reader entertained and informed.
