Home and garden; notes and thoughts, practical and critical, of a worker in both . Rose Leaves for The roT-iOURKi IIar\est: CrTxiNd Lavender. THE MAKING OF POT-POURRI 167 to go into their preparation jars. After making shiftfor some years with various odds and ends of jars,the best of them being a big bhie and grey Germanone and some South Itahan oil jars, I had somemade on purpose at Doultons pottery. The materialhas to be firmly and evenly pressed, as it lies in thejar layer on layer, and as this is difficult to arrangein any vessel of bulging form, my jars were madequite cylindrical, and they answer admirably. Theystand twenty-two inches high and have a diameterover all of ten inches, and have flat flanged lids withloop handles. They are of the strong buff stone-ware, like salt-jars, glazed inside and out. In orderto keep the material well pressed down, I had someleaden discs cast of such a diameter as to go easilyinside; these are five-eighths of an inch thick, andweigh fourteen pounds each, and have also handles tolift by. The Rose petals are thrown in, about two goodhandfuls
