PRODUCE OILS
AND PERFUMERY
Osvelopnnent Of Special Utensils
Have Resulted An Discovery OF
Methods for SEPARATING
Odors From Plants.

OF the countless numbers OF plants
In the vegetable kingdom. many pos
sess peculiar aromatic odors. Before
the art OF distillation was known. the
ancient peoples used odoriferous
plants and spices In their dried forms
for their agreeable odors. Gradually.
however. the development Of special
utensils for other domestic purposes
may have resulted in the discovery OF
methods for the separation Of odors
from plants and plant products. The
hrst mention in ancient Greek writ
ings Of the separation OF an odor from
q crude substance is that of the oil
of cedar. which was separated from
the oleoresin by means Of the crud-
est orm Of apparatus. With the de-
velopment Of the necessary apparatus.
extensive perfumery industries have
arisen. In southwestern France q
general perfrumery industry Of great
Importance. based on the production
Of lavender. cassia. rose. violet. and
other perfumery plants. has grown up.
The altar OF roses from Bulgaria and
Turkey. the -geranium oils from
Algeria, Reunion and other French
colonies. the lavender and other es-
scntial oils from England. and the cit
rus oils from Italy. as well as the
iemon.grass. citronells. ventiver. and
other volatile oil and perfume produ-
cling products from India. may be
mentioned as important Industrial
products. In the United States and
in Japan the production Of peppermint
oil and it's products constitutes an i'm
portant industry.
At the present time the number OF
plants in the United States yielding
oils in a commercial way IL very
small. but the number capable Of
yielding oils of probable value is cor
respondingly great At present the
cultivated plants are principally the
mints. peppermint and spearmint, to-
gether with small quantities Of worm
wood, tansy and wormseed. The wild
plants include sassafras. wintergreen.
sweet birch. Canada neabane. blue
gum. wild bergamot, Horsemint and
