The Garden Contributions Of AE Wohlert

Before the plant quarantine act of 1919, many nurserymen imported trees and sold them to their customers. Only one eastern nurseryman, however, took them up as a specialty. That was the late A. E. Wohlert of Narberth, Pa., who worked nearly twenty years selecting the finest varieties. He propagated them in great numbers and sold them to parks in many sections of the country and to thousands of enthusiastic gardeners.
