that the total of 11979 donums (1 ddnum = 919 square metres) is to be reduced in 

 consequence. According to a very cautious estimation, at present there are about 

 4500 donums planted with roses, in the whole of the European and Asiatic parts of 

 Turkey. They are distributed as follows: —

These figures do not claim to be absolutely exact, but they have been most care- 

 fully estimated. I am indebted for them to a Turkish inspector of rose growing, who 

 in the previous year had personally surveyed the rose fields in the main district, and 

 to the agricultural directors in Kutahia, Afion-Karahissar, Brussa, and Denislu. 



It is said that in each of the two last years about 1000 kilos of rose oil, in a 

 round figure, were obtained, a result which supposes a good flower crop and a good 

 yield in oil, taking into consideration the area of 4500 donums, as indicated.
