to state at this moment that the worlds

Hop growers in Germany during this
season experienced many difficulties
The plants survived the very long but
rather mild winter remarkably we'll
and the fresh growth up to the middle
of the month of May looked strong and

rains favored the accumulation of in

retarded the development Sf the plants
to a dangerous degree. Toward the
end OF June the weather became more
favorable. but it's beneficial influence
was not universal one. since only in
better situated and extremely well-kept
gardens a decided improvement became
visible.
1t is only during August that a
change for the better is reported from
nearly all the hop growing sections in
Germany. Warm, sunny weather, in

us the Hedda that Ibsen, keen student
