An essential oil, obtained from roses, of great value, and possessing wonderful odoriferous properties. Gareepon is celebrated throughout India for the beauty and extent of its rose gardens; the rose-fields occupy many hundred acres; the roses are cultivated for distillation, and for making attar. The price of a sieve, or two pounds' weight, (a large quart) of the best rose-water, is eight lenas, or a shilling. The attar is obtained after the rose-water is made, by setting it out during the night, until sunrise, in large open vessels, exposed to the air, and then skimming off the essential oil, which floats on the top. To produce one rupee's weight of attar, 200,000 well-grown roses are required. The juice, even on the spot, is extravagantly dear, - a rupee's weight being sold at the bazaar (where it is often adulterated with sandal-wood oil) for 80 s. r., and at the English warehouse for 100 s. r. or 10 l. sterling. Mr. Mellville, who made some for himself, said he calculated that the rent of the land and price of utensils really cost him 51. for the above quantity.
