make a circle how broad your Hill flanll be, and then 

 hollow it, that it may receive the rr.oiiiure, and not 

 long after, proceed 10 the building of your Hills. 



/.nd where you began, or w.iere your Hops are 

 highefr, there begin again, and pare again, and lay 

 them to yourHops,but lay the out circle highell to re- 

 ceive moillure;be al way paring upland laying it to the 

 heap,and that with fome Mould, -until the heap comes 

 to be near a yard high, but the firft year make it not 

 too high ; and as you pafs through your Garden, rnve

 Hoe,as it were, undermine them round, till you come 

 near the Principal Root, and take the upper or yong-
