38 HOPS. 



The cones consist of — 



100-20 per cent. 98-34 per cent. 



Derived from, or akin to, the Saaz hop are the following : — 



The Eohatin golden hop, cultivated around Lemberg, and, 

 when grown in light soil, little inferior to the Saaz hop. 



The Styrian red hop. grown at Kirchbach, Feldbach, 

 etc. Though reckoned among the good sorts this hop has 

 a less fine aroma and is poorer in lupulin, owing to the 

 special conditions of the Styrian soil, which is clayey. The 

 yield is satisfactory. 



The Siebenbiirgen red hop,^ grown in the county of Ud- 

 varhely, resembles the preceding variety. 



Nearly all the red hops grown in Bohemia have been 

 derived from Saaz. 



(&) The Spalt early hop is more productive than the Saaz 

 variety and with somewhat paler cones, but is of very good 

 quality and agreeable aroma. 



(c) The early red Schwetzing hop is one of the best of the 

 continental varieties, and is not so delicate as those already 

 named. It is grown in the Auscha district. 



{d) The red Posen hop is descended from and similar to 

 the Spalt variety. 



Early English and American hops are fairly rich in 

 lupulin, but are inferior to the continental sorts in point 

 of quality. 



^ The author is informed by a landowner in Schatzburg that the culti- 

 vation of early hops has latterly diminished in Siebenbiirgen, being replaced 

 by green hops.
