eee ARE literally thousands of different trees scattered through the world 
tropics that are highly conspicuous when in flower. Many of them make splendid 
dooryard bouquets. Others lend themselves to the creation of beautiful parks 
and parkways. Some of these trees from foreign lands are now being grown here 
and as they come to maturity and extend their beauty to the improvement of our 
landscape, they will help to make Florida, in fact as well as in name, a land of 
flowers. 
Every homeowner should plant trees. And while we are planting let us plant 
beautiful trees. 
Edwin A. Menninger, “The Flowering Tree Man”, makes a hobby of growing 
showy-flowered trees at his home in Stuart, Florida. This leaflet is a cover from 
the new 1947 catalog he has prepared, telling about nearly 250 flowering trees 
of which he has a surplus for sale. Crammed in the well-indexed 48-page 
brochure are comprehensive descriptions of the trees, drawn from dozens of 
reference works, with the result that this is almost a textbook, rather than just 
a catalog. To the student of tropical horticulture, it is invaluable for quick 
reference. Nearly every flowering tree you can think of is listed by both com- 
mon and botanical names.
