Very readable, once your eyes get used to the typeface, this book deserves to be seen more! I bought two hop plants the other year after seeing them used on an arbor at Old Sturbridge Village. I'll get the arbor built someday!
The title is about a paragraph long -
This fellow is pounding the mounded earth at the bottom outside of the poles. The writer is careful to say not to pound where the plant roots go down.
Note the "larger image" link on the bottom of the Library of Congress digital image collection page. They have a clunky, older presentation of the book. Great TIFF images are available though! But I doubt there is money for updating, so I am happy it is online! Thank you, LOC.
