Flowers and Perfumes.

The rose is extensively cultivated in
the Balkan Peninsula, chiefly for the
sake Of the perfume it affords. The Prov
cncc or cabbage rose, it is said, will yield
in the second year from one TO two hun.
drcd bushels of flowers per acre, weigh
ing six pounds TO the bushel. The rose
harvest at Adrianople sometimes yields
about ninety -four thousand ounces of at
rian harvests i'll the past ten seasons has
been fifty -sevcn thousand ounces the
price of this perfume has declined fifty
per cent. since 1883. The AIoors in AL
gcria extract an altar of moderate value
from the indigenous double white musk
rose. Twenty-eight tons of rose leaves
were imported into Alden in 1856, of
which half were shipped to India. The
"iXora extract" is made from the so,a-
flower; frangipanni, from the flowers of
species of Piumeria, native to the West
Indies and some parts:of South America;
the essence and pomade of cassie, OF the
French perfumers, from the flowers Of
Acacia farnesicina. About one hundred
tons of these flowers are used in Cannes
yearly, individual makers working M
one hundred thousand pounds. The fra
grant white flowers of Blighia sapida and
of the Bukul are used for making dis
titled waters; and the flowers OF spike
nard are employed in Algeria for per-
tuning hair oils and cosmetics. Moorish
women form garlands to ornament the in
terror of their dwellings from the flow
ers Of the jasmine, and obtain perfume
by sleeping them with oil in bottles,
which are exposed to the sun. The same
process is applied to the flowers of the
tuberose and the cassia. Hungary water
is distilled with spirit from the tops OF
rosemaryLowers. Twenty tons OF vio!ets
are used annually in Nice and Cannes.
and one hundred and twenty tons Of
orange blossoms in Nice. Orange flower
water is one OF the most agreeable vchi-
Giles for nauscous medicines that we have.
Rose buds are made into preserves in

used for flavoring swcctmeats, and the
flcshy calyces or flower bracts of the In

are made into tarts, jellies, and refresh:

Riches in New York Real Estate.

Few people, even in New York, have
nn adequate idea of the extent of the
property held by the great estates and of
the operation of the 'uncarned increment"
process-as labor professors term it-by
which it has appreciated in value.
The Astors, who are among the very
largest holders, think nothing of pur-
chasing almost an entire block at time.
They own every house on Twenty-frst
street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues,
with the exception of the Union Club
building, and are claimed to be the
largest owners of improved real estate in
the world, the next being the Duke Of
Westminster, in England.
The following list will give M APP
proximatc idea Of the phenomenal risein
values in the great New York estates:
