Abstract
THE close attention which is being given in many foreign countries to the scientific study of plants of econpmic importance is evidenced in the two reports on the hop lately published by Dr. J. Schmidt. Although the cultivation of hops in Denmark is at present restricted to about 100 acres, Dr. Schmidt, of the Carlsberg Laboratory, Copenhagen, was recently commissioned to visit this and other countries with the object of collecting information on the most modern methods of cultivation, and also to collect data and material likely to prove of value in the work of breeding improved varieties of hops for cultivation in Denmark. In 1910 the physiological department of the Carlsberg Laboratory began a series of investigations on the hop plant (Humulus lupulus. L.), with a view of obtaining information of theoretical and practical interest regarding this plant. These reports by Dr. Schmidt are the first-fruits of this work.
