8 A. E. WOHLERT’S NURSERIES 

Malus continued 
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. PARKMANI (Halliena; Parkman C.), double, pink. A dwarf tree, very low 
growing, just right for small gardens, very hardy, flowers an exceptionally 
lovely pink. Prolific, one of the first to open and one of the last to fade. 
M. RED SILVER. A new variety; silver coated foliage; red flowers. The trees 
originated in South Dakota, and I have not seen the fruit nor the flowers. 
M. RED TIP. A new variety of great merit; short stemmed red or pink flowers, 
similar in distribution to plum blossoms; a vigorous grower; an unusual sight 
while in bloom. 
M. SARGENTI (Sargent's C.). Dwarf; white flowers; abundant showy red fruit. 
Good for the small garden and a great favorite on account of the brilliant 
fruit; with the birds equally popular. Low growing and spreading habit; 
just the sort for rockeries and small gardens. One of the more striking 
varieties. Positively true to name. Good for a hedge up to six feet high 
if trained or sheared; will keep out intruders, even cows and dogs. 
M. SCHEIDECKERI. One of the most conspicuous pink flowering trees of early 
spring. Very prolific both in bloom and fruit. Flowers double pink; fruit 
excellent for jelly. Very hardy; an old sort. 
M. SPECTABILIS ROSEA PLENA. Very large double pink flowers profusely 
produced; yellow fruit. Next to Bechtels and lIoensis this variety produces 
the largest double flowers of all the Flowering Crabs. 
M. 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.)

IMPORTANT!!! All our trees are freshly dug to fill your order, and are 
not kept in storage at any time. They are packed immediately and kept thor- 
oughly covered to the last minute. Therefore, they leave the nursery in good 
condition and almost invariably grow, the few failures being caused, usually, 
by insufficient watering at a critical period in early summer before they are 
established. An extremely hot or dry summer could also kill trees when they 
are not watered properly. 
Magnolia trees and Dogwood trees require careful attention as indicated 
above; very few other species are in the least troublesome. Trees with soil 
balls require careful watering, more so than do trees with bare roots. 
We have had so few complaints as to losses in transplanting that it hasn’t 
seemed necessary to offer insurance. Recently, however, we have had in- 
quiries as to insurance of growth, so we are offering to REPLACE ANY 
TREE THAT DIES WITHIN ONE YEAR IF 20% ADDITIONAL IS PAID 
FOR INSURANCE BEFORE THE SHIPMENT IS MADE.
