On account of their delicate constitution they cannot be 

 grown profitably except in the most favoured districts 

 where soil and climate are suitable. 



The Cobbs' Hop is a main crop variety of recent introduction. 

 It is hardier than the Canterbury type with thin pale 

 petals. 



It is an excellent cropper where the climate and land are 

 satisfactory, but it is generally not rich in lupulin. 



The " Golding " Hop resembles the Canterbury and Farnham 

 types. It is often confused with these, and gardens 

 supposed to be pure usually contain both Goldings and 

 Canterbury Whitebines. 



The true Golding hop has slightly larger cones not so 

 clustered together as the Canterbury sort, and the bine 

 is not so tall and is more speckled with red blotches and 

 streaks. 



III. There are comparatively few really Late varieties. 



The latest of all is the Colegate Hop. The cones are long 

 and narrow, square in section, with thin pale greenish-yellow 

 " petals." They are poor in lupulin, and have a disagreeable 

 aroma. 



The plant has green bines, crops heavily, and is readily 

 distinguished from all other cultivated sorts by the roughness of its 

 branches and leaf ribs, as well as by the deeper serrations on the 

 edges of the leaves. 



The Colegate hop is thoroughly hardy and adapted for growth 

 on the damp heavy soils of the Weald and other similar districts. 



Bates' Bvewev Hop is another late sort of distinct habit and 

 character of cone. It has dark green bines. The cones resemble 

 those of the Bramling variety with a good lupulin content, but the 

 aroma is not first-class. In certain districts it crops well, whereas 

 in others the yield is disappointing.
