I Lf ? n A practical monopoly conferred upon Bulgaria by nature itself is the ancient "attar of rose" industry. A report from Consul General Murphy of Sofia states that the attar yield- gsSf5^^^ A N ing roses require a soilv easily permeable to water, protection from the cold north winds of winter, and a climate free from excess of unseasonable rain and early and excessive m038 droughts and Bulgaria's "Rose val- |:Hy| mm ley' seems to combine these condi- I IjflH tionp more perfectly than any other spot. A Turkish attempt since 1878 iff to create a rose industry around |s|||;| |||g! Broussa, in Asia Minor, has resulted InBil II IU> only in flowers almost wholly lacking attar. The shoots planted in well manured ditches 18 inches deep and : 1 a yard and a half apart, grow to a foot high the first year, begin flowering the third year, reach full growth of six feet in the fifth year, and bear pr blossoms abundantly for 20 years. The harvest, beginning about the third week in May, continues 18 to * 30 days. The collected flowers are placed in a tinned copper boiler or still, 20 pounds of roses and 15 gal- A "D P Ions of water at a charge, and distil- * * er \j lation for about 45 minutes yields CAPITAL . 30 to 35 pounds of rose water. This , is concentrated by redistilling, after which the attar is skimmed off as it ill rises to the surface. The rose gardens occupy about 20,000 acres, in an area of 80 miles by 30 on the southern slODe of the Balkans, at an | average height of 1,300 feet, and I they yield annually 35,000,000 to J 45,000,000 pounds, or 8,000,000,000 roses, producing one ounce of attar ?NO from 100 to 120 pounds. The average production of attar is 1^5,000 Truste ounces, that of 1906 having reached nerfor 225,000, while 1916 does not exceed ?? Dortan 1 1 U,UVU UUUtCS. _ J. ' you ap Careless Speech.
