j. j. Lowry's force of clerks have a
splendid Washington's Birthday dis
play in the north window. The por-
trait of Washington surrounded by
flags, and above the portrait is the
hatchct as an emblem of the days
when the favorite cherry tree fell
victim to his boyhood innocense. And
the beautiful display Of jewelry in the
south window decorated with palms,
Towering azaleas and primroses, COM
pletes a job Of window decorating that
call forth many admiring words.
Small fruits are likely to become SO
plentiful about Cresco as to be scarcely
worth marketing-unless foreign tree
peddlers prove to have been great
liars. Nearly all our bright, intelli-
gent farmers have bought strawberry
plants at 25 cents a piece, warranted
to yield a qusrt OF berries to each
plant, every AorLing. The same yarie-
ties could have been bought OF our.
home nurseries for one cent plant,
but our nursery men dare not send
out agents who could tell such lies, as
they will want to continue doing busi-
ness hereafter, at the .sold stand"
Equally fabulous tales were told of
their apple, pear and cherry trees,
and were as readily and eagerly
swallowed as gospel truth.
