ALTAR OF ROSES.
Six Billion Namask Buds Gathered Every
Year to Make 1t.

Since the emancipation Of the Balkan
provinces tho manufacture OF altar OF roses
has become great industry in Bulgaria
and has beea taken up on large scale in
Germany. We have all been accustomed
to connect tho fabrication of altar OF roses
with Persia and Syria, and even now In
dia and CoUsfantinople furnish probably
the largest markets for II, but although
the art Of fnaking il vas discovered in
Persia the n,anufacture has now nearly or
quite died ont and the center of the bust
ness is now the country about kazanlik,
on the south slope of the Balkans, close to
the Shipka. or Wild Rose Pass, famous in
the history OF the Russo Turkish War. The
rose growing belt i situated a. an average
altitude of ], eco feet above the sea and e1-
tends to a length of about 30 miles with
an average breadth Of ten miles. On this
ground are produced annually from ., Co.,
ooO. coo 10 6. O0O. Oc0, 600 rose blossoms.
The number OF varieties cultivated Is
very small Ninety PEI cent OF all the
blossoms are taken from bushy variety OF
the Rosa dausascena, or daInask rose,
known to our gardeners mainly as the an
cestor from which the infinite variety Of
hybrid perpetual roses derive large part
of their blood. OF the remaining 20 per
cen. part is gathered from the white
musk rose, which Is frequently planted as
hedge around the fields Of pink daInas-
Gems, while tho rest are furnished By
dark red va,isty of damasoena Other
sorts Of roses have been tried, but some
yield DO altar at ali. and others give an
essence having the perfume OF violets %
pineapple or hyac!nth rather than OF roses.
