Peppermint oil is usud in confectionery, very extensively in medicines, and for the production of menthol, or more properly pipmenthol. Pipmenthol differs in physical pro- perties from menthol derived from Japanese Mint. Japanese Mint, M. arvensis, v&v. piperascena, is cult, in northern Japan, chiefly on the island of Hondo : not known in the wild state. It has been intrndnccl px-porimcntally in cult, in England and the T' siiii.'x, hut has not been cult, commer- cially in \\ir~. iHiiiii-a.

It is propa- gated by rootstocks carefully transplanted and cul- tivated by hand-labor.
