The emancipation Of the odor from
its imprisonment is very simple: the
tat cut into small cubes is placed in
spirits of wine, and the dclicacy i'm
mediatcly deserts the coase fat for the
more spiritual solvent. 1t may not
be quite correct to speak of these
orders as waste matters, because the
flowers are grown for the purpose of
their production, and for that only,
but thero arc many fragrant airs
which now go to waste in our gar
dens that may be secured with little
trouble.
Mr.. Picsse, in hisintcresting work
on pcrfumery, says that, "while cnl-
tivators of gardens spend thousands
for the qualification of the eye, they
altogether neglect the nose. Why
should we not grow flowers for their
odors as well as their colori?' and
we may add that ladies may utilize
some Of our own waste garden per
fumes very easily and with pecuniary
advantage to themselves. Hello
trope, the lily of the valley, honey
suckIe, myrtle, Glove, pink, and
wallfower perfumes, such as we get
in the shops, are made-up odoros
cnnningly contrived from other flow
ers. Yet they may be made pure
with little trouble. II want he
liotrope pomade," says Mr. Piesse in
dispair; /" I would buy any amount
that I could get" And the way to
get it is very simple. If there is Il
glue pot in the house, and it happens
to he clean, fill it with clarified fat,
set i, near the hot-house fire, or amy
other fire, just to make the fat liquid,
and throw in as many heliotrope
flowers as possible, let them remain
"a hours, strain off the fat, and add
fresh ones; repeat this process for a
week, and the fat will have become a
pomadc Ia heliotrope.
The same process may be gone
through with all the other flowers
mentioned. A lady may in this
manner make her own perfume, and
will and in the words of Piessc, "one
that she cannot obtain for love or
money ut the perfumer's." The
same gentleman, in a letter to the
Society of Arts Journal, draws at
tention to the fact that flowers of
great value are real waste product
in our colonies. "In Jamaca. st.
Helena, and many other places,
orange blossoms and jessamine flow
ers are very abundant, but no effort
is made 10 save or economize their
fragrance. although the ottos pro-
cured from them are Eearly as valua-
bic A. gold. weight for weight and
