It is an established-fact that; Quinine

this purpose'thereisne"better remedy.
But it is also an established fact that
;tiiey do not remove the cause that pro-

Chills t$puld nofrfhttiTn on the 7lh,' 14th;

ritA CHANT FAHMIH&
We alluded recently to a promised
enterprise in Santa Einbara in the
growing of flowers for -the purpose of
extracting their perfu mes fa r commerce-,
as is done in different parts.uf the world.
We oho hear that a gentleman in
Alameda county has begun the culture
of fragrant-leaved plants for the purpose
of distilling th?ir essential oils, k!so as
a business enterprise. These proposi
tions are eortainly a movement toward
the diveisificutioriof onr agriculture in a
delightful direction, and we trust they
may prove profitable to those who un
dertake them.
By the way of showing that such en
terprises are successful, and a source of
revenue *o those who conduct them in
other pi arts of the world, we have col
li lacted some interesting facts giving the
statistics of fragrant srops, It is stated
that one great factory at Cannes, in
France, uses yearly about 100,000
pound, of acacia flowers {Acaica Far-
nes tana), 140,000 ponndsof rose flower
leaves. 32,000 pounds of jasmine blos-
some, 20,000 pounds of turberose, to
gether with a large quantity of other
sweet herbs. Mention should also be
made of the rose gardens of Ghaziporo.
These- consist of immense fields in
which small rose bushes are plarted in
rows, and from the rose leaves is, ob
tained attar of roses. Twenty ’thon^
sand roses are required to yield a rupee
weight of oil, and this sells for §50.
In the province of Phillippopolis (Eu
ropean Turkey) it was generally found
that twenty-eight hundred weight of.
roses prrduces one pound of attar, but
rince the disastrous war of 1877-78; tho
industry has been almost spoiled. Pre
vious to that war the province produced
a yearly yield of about 3,600 pouds.
The acreage of land devoted to scent
bearing plants is quite large, as may be
learned from the following statement.
It if said that there are of roses in Bul
garia 5 000 acres; lavender, and pep-
- perinints, at Milcham, 250acres; violets,
at Nice-aud Mentone, 300 acres; orris-
root, Italy,400 acies; .gernauium, Va-
lintia, 250 acres; lemon-gruss, .Ceylon,
600 acres'; citrouella and patchouly,
Singapore, 270 acres; jasmine, acacia
and turberose, Cannes, 400 acres; or
ange and lemon, Sicily and Bargamo,
3,500 acres. In Timour and Malaya
farms exist of which no accurate account
can be given.
Concerning the money yield of the
different crops there are also figures
at hand in the last annual report of
• Dr. R. Schombuigk, director of Botan
ic gardens at Adelaide. South Australia.
Figures as to the possible out-turn of
different crops aro often illusive, and
•we are prone to abstain from this
method of generalization which, in
dulged- by coutemporary writers, has
often'brought disappointment to practi
cal men who have their computations as
a basis for enterprises of various kinds.
However, with this reservation, it will
be quite safe to instance the results of
flower gardening for profit, which Dr.
Schoraburgk credits to un English au
thority. The figures will be found
large enough to suit the most active ag
ricultural castle-builder:
One acre of jasmine plants (80,000)
wil produce 5,000 pounds of flowers;
value, 25 cents i>er pound, or §1,250
per acre.
One acre of rose trees (10,000) will
produce, 2,000 pounds offlowers, value,
19 cents per pound, or §375 per acre.
One acre of orange trees (100) at ten
years old, 2,GOO-ponnds of flowers; val
ue 12i cents per pound, or §250 per
acre.
One acre of violets, j,GOO pounds of
flowers; value, 50 cents per pound or
§800 per acre.
One acre of cassia trees (Acac a Far-
nesiana), 302 at three years old, 900
pounds of flowers at 60 cents per pound,-
or §450 per acre.
One acre of geranium plants, 16,000
to 40,000 pounds, leaves producing
2,035 ounces of distilled otto at 50 cents
per ounce, or §1,000 per acre.
One acre of lavender (3,647) gives
flowers for distillation valued at §150.
These figures are taken from the esti
mates of Piesse, one of the greatest
manufacturers of perfumes in London,
and are based upon Ms purchases from
the growers in the South of Fiance.
Of course, to realize any such figures,
or, in fact, any figures at all in this
State, would require the extraction
from the flowers of their essential-prin
ciples so that these could be exported.
This is a harder task than though we
had near at hand perfume-manufacturers
who .would contract for the flowers and-
take them off the growers’ bands as soon
as they'were gathered. This advantage
is enjoyed by the European .flower
-growers. If we are to succeed in such
work as conditions are now, we must-
combine both growing and manufactu
ring, which doubles the capital re
quired; also the risk, etc.
It should not be forgotton by those
-who may be excited by the large figures
given per acre in the above estimates,
that they must include a cost, of work
far in advance of any field crop we now
grow. There must also be a high style
of farming practiced, and money spent-
for fertilizers in t he case of some of the
plants specified, above,, so as to induce
the plant tG put forth the requisite
amount of bloom. These and other
considerations—the price of labor and
the like—must be well weighed before
any large enterprise could be safely un
dertaken, although tlio cautious way in
which the business is now being under
taken is safe, and we trust may, ere
long, become a source of revenue to
many of our people,—From the Pacific
JRural Press.
