 days with 100 per cent sunshine, with 

 two periods of nine and eleven consecu-

Various Notes. 



It is reported that since the hyacinth 

 market went to pieces in Holland, fol- 

 lowing the British exclusion order, one 

 salesman has placed 200,000 bulbs in 

 the Chicago district, prices being what 

 the buyer was willing to pay. Even if 

 the figure is exaggerated, as such things 

 usually are, the increase over the normal 



number of hyacinths forced for the 

 needs of Chicago may produce an in- 

 teresting situation if business is not 

 good next spring. 



Leopold Koropp, formerly well known 

 in the trade here and recently operating 

 as a gardener at Glencoe, filed a petition 

 in bankruptcy July 31, scheduling liabil- 

 ities of $2,994.12 and assets of $112.20. 



Some years ago Mr. Koropp operated 

 the store at 4509 Evanston avenue, now 

 the Schiller north side branch. In De- 

 cember, 1912, the Koropp corporation, 

 as it was then, went into the hands of a 

 receiver and its affairs were wound up. 

 Later Mr. Koropp located in Glencoe. 



There are many reports that gladioli, 

 like some of the asters, were burned up 

 by the heat last week, but C. S. Clausen 



says his gladioli at Wichert have not 

 suffered especially, although they are 

 a week later than last year. He pre- 

 dicts that a considerable proportion of 

 the later gladioli, now thought to have 

 been injured, still -v^ill bloom satisfac- 

 torily. 



That Monroe street east of State 

 eventually will be the best retail flower 

 section of the city is George Wienhoe- 

 ber's belief; he says it will become such 

 the moment the Illinois Central opens 

 the long-talked of Monroe street station. 

 There already are eight flower stores 

 within one block from the corner of 

 Wabash avenue and Monroe street. 



No great rush of business is expected 

 in July, but E. Wienhoeber comments 

 that sales last month exceeded those of
