A New Enterprise for Cresco.

Last Saturday afternoon the writer
took a stroll in the north part of town,
walking up Elm street to near the DR..
Connolly farm, then turning west and
going one block. Here, we found nest
ling on the northern slope Of the little
hill something that was entirely new
to us-a we'll developed little nursery.
AS we did not find anyone to entertain
US we proceeded to make ourselves at
home and went on tour of investiga-
tion. AS we travelled around we began
to see things such as apple trees.
plum trees, shade trees, ornamental
trees, shrubs, vines, plants, flowers,
ETC., and even q large amount OF veg
tetables and grain. A nice patch Of ev-
erbearing strawberries lay across our
path SO we helped ourselves to some OF
the incest red ones. K
This little nursery is laid out on what
was two or three years ago part of
the McHugh farm, and is now the
property of Mr.. E. H. Bents. We
doubt very much if many of our peo'
pie or the people of the county are
aware that Cresco has the third nur-
sery, yet Mr.. Bents will have plenty of
stock for sale this fall and next spring.
Anyone in the market for anything in
the line of nursery stock should make
it point to see Mr.. E. H. Bents be-
fore making their selection.
