And now we are informed that some
of our most fragrant flowers are really
disinfectants. Those which develop the
largest qlantity Of ozlno are said to be
clover, lavender, cherry, laurel, iennel
and bergamot. Flowers having noper
fume are said not to develop it, and
thuse having but little perfume develop
il only in small quantities, These facts
have been discovered by an Italian pro-
fesor and writer commenting on them
saws that the cultivation of flowers in
marshy districts and mall places infested
with animal emanations ", uld be highly
favorable to health, He especially
recommends that the inhabitants Of such
regions should surround their houses
with beds Of most odorous flowers.
II would seem from the foregoing that
plenty of lowerbeds in the immediate
vicinity of such places would do much
to relieve them Of their injurious inau
ences.
