a  name,  and  that's  enough  for  the  versatile  Parisian  Perfumer,  and  if  the 
mixture  he  makes  "  takes"  with  the  fashionable  world — the  plant  which 
christens  it  has  a  fine  perfume  for  a  certainty  !

Wallflower  ( Cherianthus^ — Exquisite  as  is  the  odor  of  this  flower,  it 
is  not  used  in  perfumery,  though  no  doubt  it  might  be,  and  very  successful- 
ly too,  were  the  plant  cultivated  for  that  purpose.  To  this  flower  we  would 
direct  particular  attention,  as  one  we  consider  well  adapted  for  experiments 
to  obtain  its  odoriferous  principle  in  this  country  ;  our  climate  being  good 
for  its  production.  The  mode  for  obtaining  its  odor  has  been  indicated 
when  we  spoke  of  Heliotrope,  page  234.  And  if  it  answers  on  the  small 
scale,  there  is  little  doubt  of  success  in  the  large  way,  and  there  is  no  fear 
but  that  the  scent  of  the  old  English  wallflower  will  meet  with  a  demand.

Winter  Green  (Trienialis  Europea.} — A  perfuming  essential  oil  can  be 
procured  by  distilling  the  leaves  of  this  plant :  it  is  principally  consumed 
in  the  perfuming  of  soaps.  Upon  the  strength  of  the  name  of  this  odorous 
plant  a  very  nice  handkerchief  perfume  is  made.
