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. mgmi BRICK WAREHOUSE, NEAR THE COURT HOUSE, HAWKINSV1LLE, GA.
