Some iJea of the magnitude of the business of raising sweet-scented flowers for their perfume alone, may be gathered from the iact that Europe and British India consume about 150,000 gallons of handkerchief perfume yearly; that the English revenue from French eau de-Oologuc of itself is £B.OOO annually, and the total revenue of Englaud from other imported perfume is estimated at £40,000 oach year. There is one great perfume distillery at Cannes, in France, which uses annually about 100,000 pounds of acacia flowers, 140,000 pounds of rare flower leaves, 32,000 pounds of jasmine blossoms, and 20,000 of tuberose blossoms, together with an immense quantity of other material used for the perfume.
