Homemade rose and sweet flower oils

TO EXTRACT THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF FLOWERS: Take a quantity of fresh, fragrant leaves, both the stalk and flower leaves; cord very thin layers of cotton*, and dip them in fine Florence oil**; put alternate layers of the cotton and leaves in a glass jar, or large tumbler; sprinkle a very little fine salt on each layer of the flowers; cover the jar close, and place it in a window exposed to the sun. In two weeks a fragrant oil may be squeezed out of the cotton. Rose leaves, ***mignonette, and sweet scented clover, make nice perfumes. * Cheese cloth **High grade olive oil ***A Victorian favorite, grown for its sweet ambrosial scent of its flowers The Improved Housewife or Book of Receipts, 1858
