Covent Garden Market. 



Hop Poles and Copper Wires. — Will you or Mr. Murray have the goodness 

 to inform me how that gentleman (VII. 332.) means the copper wires to be 

 fixed to the hop poles ? Does he mean along the top of the poles horizon- 

 tally, and one turn round each pole to keep the wire in its place ? Is wire 

 one tenth of an inch in diameter thick enough ? Do you approve of three 

 poles to each plant, instead of one, as giving more surface ? What is the best 

 time of gathering, and mode of drying ; and what is the best publication on 

 the culture and management of the hop ? — O.P. Q. C'arloiv, Aug. 2. 1834.
