V Attar or otto of roses is obtained by the carefiil distillation of the petals of several species of 

 roses — particularly R. gallica. Linn., R. centifolia, Linn., and R. damascena, Mill. For this purpose 

 they are largely cultivated on the lower slopes of the Balkans, in Roumelia. The flowers are 

 collected before sunrise in April and May. They are distilled as soon as possible after gathering. 

 The first portion of the distillation is returned to the still ; the second is set by for a day or two, and 

 kept at a temperature not lower than 60 degrees, in order that the oil may separate. The oil in a 

 fluid state is then skimmed from the surface of the water by means of a very small tin funnel, 

 having a fine orifice and furnished with a long handle. The average annual produce of Roumelia, 

 from whence the London market is chiefly supplied, is about 4,000 lbs., valued at £60,000. Some 

 attar is also obtained in the south of France, Tunis, and Persia, as well as at Ghazepore, in India. 

 The Turkish attar is almost invariably adulterated with the oil of an Indian species of Andropogon.
