The Fremont Nursery, Fremont, Ohio. 
Mountain Ash — European — A more desirable variety than the American, being of finer 
growth and form. It blossoms during the early spring, after which the bright scar¬ 
let berries are formed in clusters. Twenty to thirty-five feet when fully grown. 
Poplar — Poplars are desirable where rapid growing varieties are wanted, and they are also 
very distinct and striking. 
Bolleana — A very compact upright grower, resembling the Lombardy Poplar; leaves 
glossy, green above and silvery beneath. The bark of this variety is of a rich green 
color, giving it a distinct and striking appearance. 
Carolina — Of compact habit. A very rapid grower. A desirable tree for the seashore, 
and for our large cities, where escaping gas kills most shade trees. Fifty to sixty feet 
when fully grown. 
Lombardy — From Italy. Remarkable for its erect, rapid growth, and tall, spiry form. 
Of great value for planting with other trees to break the average height and form. 
Fifty to seventy-five feet. 
Norway — Similar to Carolina but even a faster grower than that sort. Leaves a deeper 
green. 
Silver-Leaved, or White — Leaves large, green above and pure white underneath. 
Wonderfully rapid growth; widespreading habit. Has a bad habit of throwing up 
suckers from the roots. 
Salisburia —Maiden-Hair, or Ginko Tree (Adiantifolia) — One of the most beautiful 
lawn trees. From Japan. Beautiful, rich, glossy, fern-like foliage. Rapid growth. 
Rare and elegant. A tall upright grower. 
Sycamore —Oriental —As an ornamental tree for large grounds, or as a shade tree for 
street planting, this has no superior. It is a rapid grower, attains a large size, and 
presents a striking combination of majesty and gracefulness. The foliage is heavy 
and not subject to the ravages of insects. 
Thorn, or English Hawthorn — Double Pink — A pretty tree at all times, but gorgeous in 
June, when it is covered with double pink blossoms. 
Double White — A highly ornamental variety, on account of both foliage and flowers. 
Small, double white flowers. Blooms in June. Makes a pleasing contrast when 
planted with the pink and scarlet. 
Paul’s Double Scarlet —Superior to any other variety, and an elegant tree or shrub. 
The flowers are large, very double, borne in clusters, a rich crimson color, beautiful to 
beholds Blooms in June. 
Tulip Tree — A very large native tree. Pyramidal habit, with broad, fiddle-shaped leaves. 
Tulip like flowers. 
WEEPING DECIDUOUS TREES 
Birch — Cut-Leaved Weeping (Pendula laciniata) —This tree is indeed a picture of delicacy 
and grace. It presents a combination of attractive characteristics of which no other 
variety can boast. Mr. Scott, in his “Suburban and Home Grounds,” says of it: 
“No engraving can do it justice; like the palm trees of the tropics, it must be seen in 
motion, swaying in the lightest breeze, its leaves trembling in the heated air, its white 
bark glistening through the bright foliage and sparkling in the sun, to enable us to form 
a true impression of its character.” Makes a large tree. Of but little beauty when 
delivered from the nursery, but it develops into a thing of beauty. 
Mountain Ash — Weeping — One of the best known and most popular weeping trees. It is 
of easy culture, great hardiness and thrives in all soils. Its straggling branches, twisting 
and turning in every direction, with no training whatever, makes a most picturesque 
and novel sight. Covered during the autumn with bright red berries. It is budded 
on stems about five feet high. 
Mulberry, Teas Weeping— Perfectly hardy, forming a natural umbrella-shaped top or head; 
foliage handsome; a fine ornamental for the lawn. 
Willow— Babylonica Weeping —Our common and well-known weeping willow. 
Kilmarnock (Caprea pendula) — The best known and most universally planted of the 
finer weeping ornamental trees. Its great hardiness, vigorous growth, adaptability to 
all soils, easy culture, fine form, and unique appearance render it a general favorite. 
It is budded on Cromwell stock, about five feet from the ground, and forms a perfect 
umbrella-shaped head in a very few years, without pruning or training. It does not
