KANSAS aTY. MO. 



From a state of stagnation, which 

 existed for two weeks, ti-ade in the 

 past lew days has reached great ac- 

 tivity, resulting from an unusual 

 high rate of mortality. Orders for 

 funeral work have been numerous, 

 some quite lai'ge in proportion, in- 

 cluding a few casket covers. Unfor- 

 tunately good flowers are very scarce 

 and a great mixture of material had 

 to be used. Roses never were so 

 small as now; we could not do busi- 

 ness without Lilium Auratum and 

 sweet peas, which are the best flow- 

 ers in tnis market at the present 

 time. 



The topography of the city is a fea- 

 ture which first impresses the visitor 

 to this town. Rising to an altitude of 

 500 feet and extending along the 

 north and west sides of the city are 

 the bluffs of the Missouri and Kansas 

 Rivers. These bluffs will no doubt 

 at some future time be transformed 

 into and used as places of recreation. 

 While excavating in the north bluff 

 recently workmen discovered the 

 skeleton of a mastodon which is now 

 On exhibition at the public library. 



From the summit on the west side one 

 can get a full view of our sister city, 

 Kansas City. Kansas. 



This town is only half in size and 

 population of Kansas City. Mo., yet 

 the enormous business done there by 

 the different packing houses and other 

 industries affords employment to near- 

 ly one-half of the working classes of 

 the two cities. 



H. B. Laundy. the florist, located 

 there twenty years ago. growing nur- 

 sery stock and cut flowers, and says 

 that trade with him is increasing 

 every year. "Look at my property; 

 I have no complaint to make." J. S. 

 Short succeeded H. S. Smith three 

 years ago, and seems to be getting his 

 share of trade. 



Mr. J. Austin Shaw spent three days 

 with us last week and was strictly 

 business during business hours. He 

 was seen in the evening wearing a 

 double-breasted Prince Albert coat 

 and a silk hat, and might have been 

 taken for a missionary from Pekin 

 ■who had luckily escaped the Boxers.
