UNOk CyOccS Are.

Cloves arc the unopened flowers of small
evergreen tree that resembles in appearance
the laurel or the hay. 1t is native of Mo.
lucca or Spice Islands. but has been carried
to oil the warmer parts of the world, and 10
now cultivated in the tropical parts of
America. The flowers are small in size, and
grow in large numbers, in clusters, to the
very ends Of the brancheA The cloves We
use are flowers gathered before they are
opened, and while they are green. After
being gathered they arc smoked by = wood
fire, and then dried in the sur. Each Glove
consists Of two parts, round head, which
Is the four petals or leaves Of the flower
rolled up, inclos,ng number Of small stalks
or filaments the other part Of tho Glove Is
terminated with four points, and II in fact
the flower cup and the unripe seed vessel.
All these parts may be distinctly seen If :
few cloves are wet for short time in hot
water. when tho leaves of the flower soften,
and readily unr,ll. Both the taste and
smell Of cloves depend on the quantity Of
oil they contain. Sometimes the oil IL rep.
arsted from the cloves before they ass sold,
and the odor and taste In consequence much
weakened BY such unfair proceeding.
