FRIEND 
The thousands of Americans who each 
year make the exotic lands of the Carrib- 
bean their cruising and vacation grounds 
are going to be delighted to find that a book 
has finally been published on the most mag- 
nificent flowering trees of that region. The 
twenty-nine superb paintings are reproduced 
by the finest six-color printing. The artists, 
Bernard. and Harriet Pertchik, covered 
thousands of miles, from the Antilles to 
South America, to capture at first hand the 
particular quality of such trees ag the bell- 
flowered Jacaranda and the exquisite Frangi- 
pani, 
The folklore and legends that have 
grown up around these trees are included, 
and to increase the book’s practical value, a 
complete, informative description is given 
of each tree’s characteristics. With the co- 
operation of a score of expert botanists from 
this country and the Caribbean, a handsome 
and valuable book has been produced, 
$10.00, Pestage 20c, 9”x12”", 144 Pages.
