PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Tbe Market. 



Business has shown an improvement. 

 Puneral work has become heavy for 

 this time of the year. There are a few 

 asters grown in this city that are good, 

 but the majority were hurt by the long 

 dry siiell, when no water could be had. 

 Koses are coming in better, which is 

 a big relief to the retailers. Every- 

 thing in the green line, such as ferns, 

 Asparagus plumosus, etc., is scarce.
