DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING 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)
A few drops of oil of sassafras

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.
