Description: `In the hops' gives us an insight into hop growing and its origins in New Zealand. Describes how the early settlers, in the old sailing ships, brought hop seeds or sets, as the plants are called, with them, chiefly from Kent, but also from Worcestershire and Sussex. Explains how the plants were wrapped in wet straw to keep them alive. Gardens began in Nelson and soon spread to the Waimeas, the Moutere, Motueka, Riwaka and for a time Takaka had one or two hop gardens. The oldest garden in the district belongs to the Holland family of Waimea West. Mac Inglis of Motueka has the largest garden, containing 36 acres. The introduction of machinery for picking the hops at the Research station in Riwaka in 1951 changed the old life style but the idea caught on and each year more and more growers introduced machines thus bringing to an end another colourful New Zealand countryside scene.
