The German Hop Growers' Association 



Is quite an effective institution, under the presidency of Herr Von 

 Soden with Mr. A. Fairth as vice president. Its prime object is the 

 obtaining of crop reports from its branch associations and local 

 members, as well as the dissemination of information of general 

 interest to planters. Its official organ is Deutschen Hopfenbau-Verein, 

 edited by Mr. Fairth, io whom we are indebted for numerous courte- 

 sies The branch organizations of tliis association, with the director 

 of each and his post-office address, are as follows:

The bulk of the trade in hops in Germany Is concentrated at Nu- 

 remberg, but every large town has trade chambers, at which there is 

 some buying of hops. 



Tlie principal market places for Austrian hops are Saaz, Auscha 

 and DanV)a. In Alsace, Haguenan is the most important hop center; 

 Frankfort-on-the-Main, Mayence-Mannheim are also important cen- 

 ters of great hop dealers, but not for the sale of hops by growers. For 

 Baden, the hop center is Schwetzinger. In Belgium, Alost and Poper- 

 inghe are the chief centers, but the dealers also meet regularly at the 

 exchanges in Brussels and Antwerp, where large transactions are con- 

 ducted. In France the most important hop markets are Dijon and 

 Lun^ville.
