HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—SeveraI very severe frosts have been
experienced in the mornings of the past week, which
have in some instances turned the tips of ash planks black.
Opinions differ as to whether these frosts have been most
inimical to the insect vermin or to the plants. The effects
on the former, if any, must have been transient, as in
most grounds they seem as vigorous, and, perhaps, more
numerous than ever, although in some other grounds, in
places, they seem to have diminished. Tho frosts must
have affected the bine, but it cannot yet be known to
what extent.

WATERINGBURY, TESTON, NETTLESTEAD, AND ME-
REWORTH.—There has not been a great increase of
vermin, except in the low situations, and the bine, not-
withstanding the cold nights, has grown freely, which
gives many of the grounds a healthy appearance. The
vermin attack the weak bine and the young shoots more
than they do the strong bine, which is a bad omen.
MALLING.—The bine grows free at places, considering
the cold winds, and the foul state they are in, having an
increase of fly and lice making their appearance.
HORSMONDEN.—FIy and lice prevail to such an extent
in our plantations, that a severe blight is inevitable, un-
less we are shortly rid of these destructive vermin.
Honey-dew is spreading rapidly. Present appearances
are exceedingly unfavourable fur the growth of a crop of
hops.

i_louDrtußsT.—The fly and lice still continue very
abundant, which, together with the frosty nights, have
retarded the growth of the bine during the past week,
they having made little progress; in fact the complica-
tion of diseases appear too much for them in general,
unless upon very superior pieces of land, on which, how-
ever, they have not progressed so favourably as might
have been expected.
IGHTnam AND SEAL.—Since the last report the fly
has increased, and now presents a formidable appearance.
In many grounds honey-dew is seen.
WROTHAM.—The hops in and about Wrotham appear
in the same growing state, but the black fly and lice still
very much increasing.
BRENCIILEY.—The bines continue very full of fly and
lice, and the honey-dew is spreading to a great extent.
Having had an opportunity of seeing the principal
plantations in Sussex during the past week, I cannot
report favourably of the hops generally. A. blight is
anticipated. The late cold nights have retarded their
progress, and they are turning close to the poles, which
indicates disease in the plant.
ORPINGTON.—We have as much fly and lice as ever,
with honeydew; ssill the bine looks well.
EDENBRIDGE.—The bine is in a growing state; the fly
and lice very much decreased. The nigger has made its
appearance. Duty, 100,0001. to 120,000 k

LINGFIELD.- The. well cultivated gardens present a
very different appearance to the others; but the fly and
lice are numerous everywhere.
TICEHITHST.—We have no decrease in the quantity of
vermin, and the bine is not looking so healthy as it did a
fortnight since.

FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, JUNE
18.—We have a great deal of fly and vermin, and we
believe the plants to be generally in a very precarious
state.—Maidstone Gazette.
