How To Make A Rose Jar
Gather rose leaves when dry. Spread out in a dark room on paper and sprinkle with salt. When thoroughly dry, put 1 qt. rose petals in a pan and put this mixture over them:
- 1 tsp. oil of cloves
- 1 tsp. cassia buds
- 1 tsp. lavender
- 1 Tbls. Orris root, powdered
- 1 oz. of any good perfume (not Lily of the Valley)
Keep in covered jar. When you wish to use it, shake well and leave cover off. You can add a few Rose Geranium leaves or dried mint leaves.

Was trying to find a source for oil of sassafras and came across this article warning about its use. Might want to mention the hazard associated with its use. http://www.agriculturalproductsindia.com/essential-oil/essential-oils-sassafras-oil.html
Thanks very much for the info Mary, I removed it from the ingredient list altogether just to be on the safe side.
