Frank Fowler's Trees and Shrubs
Most men have some kind of a fad.
Some collect scarabs; others take up
politics, birds, dogs, parrots or mon
keys. Frank Fowler is i horticul
tural faddist.
On his grounds in Fremont,, he
says, are 15,000 different shrub or
plants, which he ha been collecting
for twelve years. What he doein t
know about plant life isn't worth
knowing, his neighbors say.
Mr. Fowler, by the way, has not
hidden himself all the time in his of
fice, where, as a member of the firm
of Nye, Schneider & Fowler, he con
duct, a large grain and lumber busi
ness, nor in his flower garden.' He
visit, the big eastern cities frequently,
and year, ago before he became
weighted down with business cares,
was lent by his father to see some
thing of the world beyond New York.
He took his time for it and traveled
through sixty-two different countries.
According to his story, hi. mo.t in
teresting experience, were in Java.
iava i. one of the .pot. where Amer
:an. do not flock for their annual
vacation.
Mr. Fowler has 850 different kinds
f plants. One would believe H if
he were Mr. Fowler, guest for a
day and were shown over hi. estate.
His garden isn't all teen from the
street, although the sweet fragrance
and multi-colored blossom, make his
home one that travelers inquire about.
Among the olants noted in a cursory
glance about his grounds i. a kind of
blue spruce, which originated in thi.
country, and yet atterwara. pecame
so scarce that American, buy the
shrubs from thrifty Germany, which
has "stolen" the industry away.
There can be found the only Eng
lish hawthorn which has been made
to blossom in this country. Other
hawthorn, abound, alio Jaoane.e ma
plea, rose acacias, dogwooda, deut
lias, : white fringes, rugose rote.,
snowball flowers in profusion. nake
woods, yellow roses, coffee woods,
the sweet-scented rose ot Sharon., dui
falo berries, sheep berry plants, wild
roses, all the spireas, Chinese angeli
cas. Russian olive plant. Sccrtch
pines, tulips of rare varieties, wiegelas
and other too numerouu to mention.
Mr, Fowler at one time kept some
thing of a racing stable. . 1 he stills
for eight horses are there now, empty
reminders or wnai moaern invention
Attractions For. Auto Drivers
When one visits the Tractor .how.
I well a at other times, he will
find many beautiful drive for auto
mobllists m the vicinity of Fremont
Better roads have followed closely
the advent of the new mode of pleas
ure riding. Then mile out into the
country used to be a considerable
jaunt. Now fifty miles are often cov
ered In an evening, without the feel
ing that one ha made a long trip.
Take your first ride north on Broad
street foMve miles, then turn west
for two miles and return to Fremont
on the Beebe grade and the Platte
valley transcontinental route, turning
down Nye avenue. ' Another short
route, about seven or eight mile long,
is to drive east on Sixteenth street to
Coad'i ranch, then to the right for
half a mile and turn, to the right on
the Military avenue road Into Fre
mont, or instead of turning to the
right on Military, you can continue
has done to one of America's olden
time pleasures. Like everybody else
he got the automobile craze, ana in
stead of seven horses has only one,
and four machines. He keeps scores
of chickens, too, and shows records
how at no time last winter did he get
less than twenty eggs a day.
Mr. rowler a home is on Nye ave
nue, where are many otner oi tne
best homes in Fremont. I He owns
sixteen acres within eight blocks of
the center of the city.
Other hansome estates seen on this
street or elsewhere in Fremont, most
ly on Broad, Fifth, Sixth or Military
avenue, are those ot Kay in ye, Mrs.
William Fried, Mrs. Carlos More
house, W. R. Adams, Daniel V. Ste
phens, George Woltz, L. M. Keene,
H. J. Lee, Fred Lee and R. B. Schnei
der. What impresses a visitor is the
abundance of room, the shade, the in
viting porches, the well-kept lawns,
the external appearance of the happy
homes within.
south to the Lone Tree road and fol
low that to Firat street. The most
beautiful drive for a longer trip is to
take the transcontinental road east to
just across the Elkhorn river, bridge,
then turn to the left and go Up over
the bluffs to Elk City and straight
north for a couple of miles, then
turn to the west for a short distance,
then straight north to Dale, a side
track of the Northwestern railroad.
After passing the railroad crosiing a
short way turn to the left and go west
for two miles; turn to the right and
go north for one mile, turn to the
left and follow a winding road down
over the bluffs to Arlington. Return
to Fremont by the Morehouse road
and you will have covered fifty miles.
Another interesting trip is to go out
Broad street for six miles, turn to the
right for Nickerson, cross the Elkhorn
and wind up a very steep climb to
Fontanelle, one of the oldest towns
in the state, and which narrowly
escaped being the capital of the state.
In a longer trip for an afternoon one
can come by way of Arlington Ken
nard, Blair, DeSota, Fort Calhoun and
Florence to Omaha by way of Miller
park and the boulevard, then back
over the Dodge street road through
Elkhorn, Waterloo and Valley, mak
ing the total trip eighty-seven miles in
length. ,- .
Still enother day's outing I. to go
to Lincoln by way of Valley, Water
loo, Elkhorn, Ashland and Havelock,
then back through Wahoo, Colon and
Cedar Bluffs, making about 125 miles.
Or if you want to see as much as
possible of Dodge county, one can
take in Nickerson, Winslow, Hooper,
Uehling, Scribner, Snyder, Dodge and
North Bend. The roads are good and
the hills are not steep. Yet one more
route is to go by way of Hooper,
Uehling, Craig to Tekamah and return
by way of Herman, Blair, Kennard
and Arlington. Nearly 100 miles will
have been covered by the time you re
turn. Driving to Norfolk by way of the
Black Hills trail is another way t
spend the day. In this route you
cover Winslow, Hooper, Scribner,
West Point, Beemer, Stanton,
Wisner and Pilger. If you don't
care to return by the same route take
the Meridian road down to Columbus
through Madison, Humphrey and Co
lumbus, where you will find the trans
continental route home by way of
Schuyler and North Bend.
Then one can make a roundabout
trip to Omaha over fine roads through
Cedar Bluffs, Colon, Wahoo and Ash
land, following the White Pole route
called the Omaha, Lincoln, Denver
route to Omaha by way of Gretna and
Millard.
Fremont, in fact, is the hub of a
tight-ieeingg tour of eastern Ne
braska, as one can put in a whole
week, making one-day trips over the
country, and cover the entire eastern
section of the state. In summer the
roads are alway. in good condition
and even in winter they are kept open
for travel by automobile.
George Wolz, president of the Fre
mont Commercial club, advises one to
see Dodge county first, then Nebraska,
and then! the whole United States, if
he would enrich his knowledge 100
per cent and learn what beautiful
spots there are near home. A tour
by automobile of a few hours will
teach lessons that many never knew
before, and increase his pride in the
f;reat agricultural state in which he
ives. Drive out into the country
any day, see the prosperous, looking
farms and the great threshing outfits,
and you will rejoice the more that
you do not have to go to war-stricken
Europe for pleasure excursions of the
most enjoyable kind, and that we are
a peaceful nation and need not worry
about the sea fights in the North
Sea or the result of the great con
flict at Verdun.
