Excerpt from Hops: From the Set to the Sky-Lights As many inquiries have lately been made for a description of the methods of cultivation and management of Hops practised in England, it has been considered desirable to reproduce, with many alterations and additions, a series of articles that appeared in the Country Brewers' Gazette two years ago, entitled, Hops, from the Set to the Sky-lights. There has been? No work published giving a full, complete, and reliable account of hop culture since Mr. Rutley's account in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society in 1846; and all the conditions have been materially changed since then. In 1870, the writer of this series contributed a paper, entitled, Recent Improvements in the Cultivation and Management of Hops, to the same Journal.
