Failure of Rose Harvest Means Bulgarian Losses Bringing! back the '; A U hole" SOFIA, June 1!!. It is predicted that the rose harvest, which will continue into July will show a short age of rose blooms, and consequent ly, of rose oil, or attar of roses, be-iu.-e of weather conditions in April and Way. As the rose oil in dustry, aside from the growing of wheat and corn, is the most import ant productive resource of Bulgaria, the slump in the rose harvest is re garded here as disastrous. In April, during a cold snap, the frosts nipped a considerable number of the buds. In May the intense heat I'orced the lilooms lo such an ex tent that they could not be utilized successfully for distilling purposes. The picking is done mostly hy wo men and girls, in their variegated national costumes. Hundreds of them may be seen delivering their snckfulls of flowers to the greatest rose oil establishment in (Bulgaria, in the little village of Rahmanlare, in the valley of the Strema. The manufacturer prefers the red or duma.sk roses to the white or musk, because it possesses aiKiut dou ble strength of llje white. The roses are heaped up in separate piles in concrete lined storerooms to prevent the exhalation of the blooms. From the storerooms, in which the flowers must not remain more than a couple of days because they have u tendency to. turn "sour," the roses are piled into the large metal retorts, where the essence is dis tilled from them. The product of the distillation is conducted into metal cans, where the costly essence rises to the top, while, the 'fragrant rose water is dis charged tbrouirh a nine into the near- aiUl tlie l)OW tl'link, Which 1" mountain stream where the trout . , i t i ., j-,. ido not seem to nund it, for the iiiait; tne .jaiitzeii sine "swimmm Even in tlie inland towns and. cities.; tlier.e's one cool spotthe' modern swimming pool, jrlere.; gather young ' and cM, reviving all the joys that.
