The Fremont Nursery, Fremont, Ohio. 
PRICES: Our prices are as low as it is possible to grow stock of good quality for. 
We do not claim to sell cheaper than anyone else, but we do claim that considering the 
quality of the stock and the personal care and supervision given in the growing and handling 
of the same, thus insuring stock true to name and in good condition, that our stock is as 
cheap as any, if not cheaper in the end. 
INSPECTION: Our nursery is inspected every year by the State Officials; original 
certificate of inspection is on file at the nursery and copies are placed on all shipments. 
CARE. We exercise the greatest care in the digging and handling of our stock and 
guarantee all shipments to reach destination in good condition. 
A new frost proof storage cellar, 100 x 70 ft. gives us largely increased facilities for 
the storing of tender trees in the winter and the early handling in the Spring. 
ERRORS should be reported immediately on receipt of goods. And if so done, all 
errors on our part will be cheerfully rectified. Order early and insure getting the varieties 
wanted, but always state whether, in case we should be out of any variety wanted we 
should use a similar and equally as good a variety ripening at the same time or omit.

unknown correspondents. 
REMITTANCES should be made by P. O. or Express order, bank draft or registered 
letter. 
SHIPPING SEASON usually begins about April first, and continues into May 
depending upon the weather. Fall season usually begins about October 15th, and con¬ 
tinues till ground freezes. 
THE GROWTH OF TREES 
Many persons are unacquainted with the characteristic growth of different varieties 
of trees, and consequently may be dissatisfied with the difference in appearance of their 
trees on receiving their order. In any order of mixed varieties of apple, pear, plum, etc., if 
the order is filled with trees true to name, there will be a great variation in the trees. If 
you want all big strong heavy trees, then order Tulpehocken, North West Greening and 
Stark apple, or Kieffer pear, but do not order Jonathan, Gate, and Peck’s Pleasant apple 
or Beurre Bose pear which are such poor, slow growers in the nursery row that many firms 
have discontinued growing them, yet they are acknowledged to be some of the very choicest 
of fruits. Other varieties, like R. I. Greening and Roxbury Russet grow strong enough 
but are almost invariably crooked. If you want all perfectly straight trees order only 
such varieties as Northern Spy, Mann, and White Pippin, which will be straight but not 
•quite as strong as some others. 
We would prefer to grow only the nice appearing trees but many of the best varieties 
do not grow that way in the nursery and it is the fruit you are after; these varieties all 
gfow well enough when planted in the orchard, and a crooked tree will gradually become 
straight. 
We are listing in this catalogue the varieties of fruits and ornamental stock which we 
consider the best trom all points of view, and those which we usually have on hand each 
year until sold out. 
While we believe that every fancy can be met by varieties in this catalogue, yet we 
always have many varieties, both of fruit and ornamental trees which we raise in small 
quantities only, not sufficient to catalogue, or new varieties which we are testing, so that we 
can always furnish many things not described herein. If you do not find what you want 
ask for it. 
The time of ripening of different fruits, or flowering of different trees and shrubs, 
given throughout the catalogue will vary with different locations and seasons.
