A. E. WOHLERT'S NURSERIES 
M. Eleyi. The best red-leaf sort in the spring coloring. Occasionally the tree 
will retain its color throughout the entire season, from spring until fall, but 
most of the trees turn green during the summer. The fruit is brilliant scarlet 
and very conspicuous; of excellent quality for jelly. During flowering period 
the tree is smothered with large red flowers in clusters. 
M, Floribunda. Single; pink; early; spreading. Yellow fruit, slightly tinted red. 
An old, well-known variety and for that reason one of the best sellers. 
M. Fioribunda-Purpurea, one of the best; copper beech color foliage and flowers 
of beautiful red-violet; dark purple fruit, which is retained on the tree from 
August until late November. When the tree is in bloom, it is absolutely 
covered with deep purple blossoms more densely than any other variety with 
the exception of Hopa and Eleyi. Standard or Tree Form. 
M. Hopa, large flowering, purple leaf Crab. Very hardy and prolific bloomer- 
showy dark red fruit which is very colorful from August until late in Novem¬ 
ber; quite formal and shapely growth. Red flowers. Foliafe green during the 
summer. Has a distinct tendency to form a central leader; decidedly more 
regular in habit than most of the foregoing, with the exception of the two 
varieties of Baccata. 
M. Micromalus (Midget C.), flowers pink tint; single; dwarf habit. An extra choice 
sort. NEW. Compact growth, vase form. The long, slender branches cov¬ 
ered with flowers suggest garlands of flowers. Real quality, a prime sort. 
M. Niedzwetzkyana. Red flowers, large red fruit, foliage exactly like fruiting 
apple leaves. The apples are good, and that is the only reason we are list¬ 
ing this variety. As a flowering tree it is not nearly so desirable as any 
of the rest because it is extremely dilatory about coming into bloom. It has to 
reach a definite degree of maturity before there will be any flowers. It is 
really an apple, and not a crab. 
M. Scheideckeri. Double; pink; free flowering; fruit excellent for jelly. One of 
the most conspicuous pink flowering trees of early spring; very hardy; an old 
sort. 
M. Spectabilis Rosea Plena. Very large double pink flowers profusely produced; 
yellow fruit. Rare and good. One of the better double flowering varieties. 
Spectabilis White. A white form of the above. Double flowers; yellow fruit. 
M. Theifera. Used for tea making in China; lovely pink bloom; glossy foliage; 
upright habit. (Not the tea plant, but a Chinese substitute.)
