made thervnto the more speedie and continuall recourse besides that that the Maisters eye shall manye times withstande and preuent the seruants negligence Finally by this meanes it may be with most ease and least charge holpen with dunge Of the quantitie THe quantitie of your Garden must eyther bee measured by the proportion of your yerely expences of Hoppes in your house or by the cost you meane to bestowe in the preparation and keeping thereof or by the paynes and businesse that you are disposed or able to employe vppon it or else according to the profite and gaynes that you meane to leuie and winne by it which later consideration pleaseth and flattereth much a couetous mannes conceyt whose vaine or humor or rather vaine humor is so resisted in the rules appertayning herevnto as many times the greedinesse of his desire is the ouerthrowe of his purpose as shall hereafter appeare A proportion of the charge and benefite of a Hoppe garden BVt to be resolued in all these poyntes that conscerne the quantitie of your Garden you must make your account in this voyse One man may well keepe twoo thousand hils and yet reserue his wynters labor for anye other purpose Vppon euery Acre you maye erect seauen eyght or nyne hundreth hylles as hereafter shall be declared Vpon euery hyll well ordered you shall haue three poundes of Hoppes at the least Three poundes of these Hoppes will largely serue for the bruing of one quarter of Mault One hundreth poundes of these Hoppes are commonly woorth .xxvj. s. viij d. So as one acre of grounde and the thirde part of one mans labor with small cost besides shall yeelde vnto him that ordereth the same well fortye markes yearely and that for euer And here is to be noted that grounde orderly vsed doth not only yeelde the more the greater the harder and the weyghtyer Hoppes but also they shall goe further they shall endure longer they shall be holesommer for the body and pleasaunter of verdure or taste than such as be disorderly handled These things considered you may proceede to the making of your Gardeyn wherein you are yet to haue counsell for the laying out thereof for the due season and the right trade to cut and set Hoppe rootes what choyse you shall make of them what charge you shall be at for them you are yet also to learne the tyme when and the way how to prepare your grounde and to make it able to entertaine and nourishe them to frame your hilles to maintayne them and to pull them downe to cutte to fashion to erect and to preserue serue your Poales to gather to drye and to packe your Hoppes with manye other circumstances necessarily appertaining hervnto Finallye you must be taught the reformation of many enormities and abuses whyche are receyued in most places for good rules the which God willing I will set forth truly according to the notes of experience although not learnedlye after the rules of Rhetoricke Of the preparation of a Hoppe Garden YOu must lay forth the grounde which you determine to imploye this waye in as leuell square and vniforme wyse as you maye If your grounde be grassye roughe or styffe it should be first sowen with Hempe or Beanes which naturally maketh the grounde moolowe destroyeth weedes and neuerthelesse leaueth the same in good season for this purpose But in what plight or state soeuer youre grounde be tyll it in the beginning of Winter with the Plough if it be great or with the spade if it be small and this doe not only the yeare before you plant it but also euery yeare after euen so long as you meane to receyue the vttermost commoditie of your Garden assuring your selfe that the more paynes you take and the more cost you bestowe rightly herevpon the more you doe double your profite and the nearer you resemble the trade of the Flemming The tyme to cut and set Hoppe Rootes IN the ende of Marche or in the beginning of Aprill repayre to some good Garden orderly kept as wherein the Hoppes are all of a good kynde all yerely cut and wherin all the hylles are raysed very high for there the rootes will be greatest then compounde with the owner or keeper thereof for choyce rootes which in some places will cost sixe pence an hundreth but commonly they shall be giuen vnto you so as you cut them your selfe and leaue euery hyll orderly and fully dressed but what order you shall vse herein I will hereafter shewe Rules for the choyce and preparation of Rootes ANd now you must choose the biggest rootes you can finde that is to say such as are in bignesse three or foure inches about And let euery roote which you shall prouide to set be nine or ten ynches long Let there be contayned in euerye such roote three ioyntes Let all your rootes be but the springes of the yeare last past You must haue great regarde that you cumber not your Garden with wylde Hoppes Wylde Hoppes are not to be discerned from the good by the rootes but eyther by the fruite or by the stalke Of the good Hoppe THe good and the kindely Hoppe beareth a great and a greene stalke a large and a harde bell Of the vnkindly Hoppe THe Hoppe that lykes not his entertaynement namely his seate his grounde his keeper his dunge or the maner of his setting c. appeareth at the first out of the grounde greene and small in stalke thicke and roughe in leaues verye like vnto a Nettle which will be commonly deuoured or much bytten with a little black flie who also will doe harme vnto good Hoppes where the Garden standeth bleake or the Hoppe springeth rath but be not discomforted herewith for the heate of the Sommer will reforme this matter and the later Springs will be little annoyed with this Flie who though she leaue the lease as full of holes as a nette yet she seldome proceedeth to the vtter destruction of the Hoppe Of the wylde Hoppe OF the wylde Hoppe the fruite is eyther altogither seede or else loose and light belles the stalke is redde howbeit herein the difference betweene the good and the badde Hoppe is not to be discerned vntill the stalke be twoo or three yardes high for at their first comming vp the one as well as the other appeareth redde and the best Hoppe is then the reddest Prouide your rootes therfore where you are before hande assured of their goodnesse Of setting of Hoppe rootes HAuing made your prouision of rootes in this wise returne therewith to your Garden speedilye and eyther set them immediately or lay them in some Puddle neare therevnto or burie them in the grounde vntill conueniencie of winde weather and leysure the want whereof may sometimes preuent good expedicion shall serue Prouided alwayes that you leaue them not in water or Puddle aboue .xxiiij. houres but in the earth you may leaue them as long as the time of setting endureth Your Garden being dressed as before I aduised

It is further sayde that if you shall feele a clod being dissolued with water to be very clammy or cleauing like Waxe to your fyngers in kneading it the same to be profytable lande c. I for my part relye not vpon other mens opinions neyther meane to dispute with anye man herein I lyke not to make my mouth an arbitrer in this matter mine eye maye be deceyued and my feeling may erre in the precyse distinction of good or bad lande but mine experience hath neuer fayled in this thing that is to saye that a barren a moorie or wette soyle though it perhaps doe content a wylde Hoppe shall neuer please nor maintayne a good Hoppe I will not say with Varro that a good ground yeeldeth Walwoortes nor with Columella that where Crabbes or Sloes growe there the grounde is riche I can saye nothing of Florentines experience in digging a hole and fylling it vppe agayne and by the swelling to iudge the strength or by the gaping to defyne the weakenesse thereof but I can say againe by sure experience that a drie grounde if it be riche meoloe and gentle is the soyle that serueth best for this purpose and such a moulde must either be sought out or else by cost and labour be prouoked If it be a verye shallowe rocke except you rayse it with greete or good earth you shall not set your Poales deepe steddye and fast ynough to withstande the force of the winde To redresse the inconuenience herof you shall be taught in the tytle of Poales A lyght moulde though it be very rich is not very apt for this purpose for it is a receyued and a prooued rule that the heauyest grounde wyll beare the most weyght of Hoppes I saye so as it be a grounde apt for this purpose Of the Scituation IT were good to place your Garden so as the Sunne maye haue free recourse into it eyther the whole daye or the greatest and warmest part thereof so also as if maye bee armed against the violence and contagion of the Easternlye and Northernlye wynde but this I woulde wishe to be considered rather in the situation of the place naturallye defended with a Northernly or Easternlye hill than artificiallye be set and garded with trees Howbeit if you be driuen herevnto prouide so if you can that your trees may stande aloofe euen that the shadowe of them reache not into your Garden but in any wise that they droppe not vpon the hylles It shoulde also be placed neare to your house except you be able to warrant the fruite thereof from such fyngers as put no difference betweene their owne and other mens goodes Also your Garden being thus placed there may be
