To Extract The Essential Oil Of Flowers Recipe

Procure a quantity of fresh, fragrant leaves--both the stalk and the

flower leaves will answer. Cord very thin layers of cotton, and dip them

into fine Florence oil--put alternate layers of the cotton and leaves in

a glass jar, or large tumbler. Sprinkle a very small quantity of fine

salt on each layer of the flowers, cover the jar up tight, and place it

in a south window, exposed to the heat of the sun. In the course of a

fortnight a fragrant oil may be squeezed out of the cotton. Rose leaves,

mignonette, and sweet-scented clover, make fine perfumes, managed in

this way.
