''You may break, you may ruin the vase, II
But the scent Of the roses win cling round 1t
Still"
Is true OF this rose if the vase were
Bohemian glass.
I was pleased TO hear that Ar.
Hall is also raising large quantities
Of Acacia .fdrnesjdseG; each tiny
globe is a scent bag in itself. Sweet
grass" is an allied odor, and would
be valuable addition 10 the pertum-
er's stock. One cannot but ieel that
many pleasant things will come Of
Mr.. Halls enterprise. and be will
have a multitude of well wishes Tor
its success.

A Perfumery Farm.

,. C. C., in Poclac Rar0l Press.
Fancy farm where only flowers
are raised, aud these of the tairest
and sweetest; acres and acres covered
with crop "tor beauty only" and
then believe that your fancy has al
ready been changed to fact i'll Santa
Barbara county. Surely the nlillen>
mum is near, and those Carpinteria
acres of tuberoses, English violets,
iessamines and orange blossoms are
one of the "ields from beyond the
swelling flood" dropped here as a
lonely reminder OF the land we hope
to see.
Mr.. Hall, the proprietor OF this
flower farm, believing that our favor
ed southern counties were unrlvaled
for the production OF scent bearing
blossoms, made purchase OF suits
able location, and has now completed
the distilling and other arrangements
tor the manufacture OF perfumes.
MIR. Alex. Mills, of Pasadena, mas
been Tor the past year engaged III
propagating the stock for this novel
enterprise, and kindly furnishes us
with details OF the work. First on
the list OF perfume bearers is the
Provence rose, our dear old "cab-
bage," or hundred leaved, which has
lost none of its ancient charms, yet
has been supplanted by roses Of
deeper and purer tints, or by the tea
roses which are SO inexhaustible III
their variety and beauty. Mir. Hall
obtains his stock of roses and jessa-
mine, as well as of the bitter orange,
in The south of Europe; of the lat.
ter be has several thousand Of trees.
Two weeks ago the tuberoses We're
still in periection-a field of 10000 !!
Surely the breezes off the coast
should be ''spicy" with the breath OF
these flower angels. Too sweet too
overpowering the scent OF a single
tuberose i'll aclosed room but mingled
with the salt sea air it might be a
delight. Who ever Smelled too long
the breath OF violets? There are
banks OF them, purple flush OF
| sweetness Oh the bosom of the wlntry
earth.
Aud the jessamines! MIR. Mills
says the Cephalonian 10 preferred, an
; abundant bloomer, but the ODfcindle
! is also used.
