THE BUTTERFLY BOOK
By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND
This book on American butterflies, by Dr. W. J. Holland, has
introduced thousands of readers to the delightful study of
butterflies and their development. Its 48 color plates are the best
which have been produced by the three-color process. In these and
the text cuts are shown more than five hundred different species.
Dr. Holland’s collection of these insects is the best in the United
States, barring none, and he has throughout used his own specimens in
preparing the plates. Chapters showing how to collect and preserve
butterflies add greatly to the value of the book. It contains 382
text pages, 10 pages of index.
Attractively bound in green cloth, decorated in gold. Size of
volume 7 × 10.
=Price, $3.00 net; $3.30 postpaid=
THE MOTH BOOK
By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND
This book serves as an introduction to the study of moths, but the
student who has fully mastered the contents is as far advanced in
his studies as are many men who were a few years ago regarded as
eminent specialists. It is the standard reference book of North America
on the subject.
Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, is one of
the leading entomologists of the country and has had more experience in
mounting and artistically posing moths and butterflies than any other
living man.
There are 1,500 figures in the color plates and 300 text cuts
illustrating 1,800 species of the moths of North America. This volume
is the most complete on the subject which has thus far appeared, and
contains 479 pages. Size 7 × 10.

THE BIRD BOOK
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
Mr. Reed’s new bird book is the most complete guide he has yet made.
Unlike the pocket guides which though ideal for field work, cannot
because of their size give all the details the student wishes, this
book is a whole reference library about birds and their haunts. It
contains illustrations in colors of more than seven hundred birds of
all varieties from all parts of the country which show the birds more
than an inch in height so that every detail of real life is faithfully
reproduced. In addition to these illustrations in color there are many
hundreds more showing the eggs in life size, and numerous unusual
photographs of birds in flight and in their natural haunts.
=More than 700 illustrations in color and many unusual Bird
Photographs. Net, $3.00=
THE TREE GUIDE
By JULIA ELLEN ROGERS _Author of “The Tree Book”_
The Tree Guide is uniform in style and size with the well known pocket
Bird Guides which have become so universally popular. It contains
illustrations and descriptions of the trees of the country. The
descriptions include the range, the classification, the distinctive
features such as flowers, leaves, fruit, etc., and all other marks that
lead to an easy identification of the tree. An ideal volume for expert
naturalist or amateur for field work or even more exhaustive study.
=32 illustrations in color; many in black and white.

CAMERA STUDIES OF WILD BIRDS IN THEIR HOMES
By CHESTER A. REED, B.S.
“CAMERA STUDIES” has 250 photographs of events right in birds’ homes.
These pictures are selected from the author’s collection of over 2000
bird photographs, this being one of the best collections of pictures of
free, living wild birds in existence.
Many rare and interesting poses are faithfully shown by the camera.
For instance, a pair of adult Chipping Sparrows, standing on a branch
by the sides of their four young, are engaged in pulling apart a large
worm that was too large to be given whole.
The stories accompanying these pictures are as interesting as the
photographs and above all they are all actual facts.

habits and nesting habits are described.

AMERICAN GAME BIRDS
By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.
Certain species and families of our wild birds are classed as game
and can, at certain seasons, be legally hunted for sport or for
food. A great number of books have been written for sportsmen and by
sportsmen, most of them containing but a very few black and white
illustrations of some of the species mentioned. As far as we know,
AMERICAN GAME BIRDS is the _only_ sportsman’s book illustrating
nearly all of these birds in NATURAL COLORS. With it, the novice can
identify any game bird he secures or sees, and the old-timer, as
well, can see just what sportsmen in other sections of the country
are shooting. The illustrations are excellent reproductions by the
very best process from water-color paintings made directly from the
birds.
The text portrays their habits just as truly as the pictures do their
appearance, and the two together give the reader a correct impression
of each species, such as can be gained in no other way except by
long association with the birds. Mr. Reed knows birds as few others
do, and has hunted, studied and photographed them from Labrador to
Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
More than 100 species illustrated in natural colors.
=In handsome Paper Covers, 60c. net; postage, 5c.=
