Snuff Perfum'd with Flowers.

THE Flowers much used for Perfu∣ming Snuff, are Orange-flower∣water, Jasmin, common Roses, musqued Roses and Tuberoses, other Flowers can hardly Perfume naturally, unless you use a great quantity of them, and add to them some Essence of the same Flowers, as you'll see in the Receipts for Perfuming Snuff; but when all is done the smell never last long, as in other Perfumes. Here is the manner how to use them in Perfuming Snuff.

Get a Wooden Box, as big as you have occasion for, line within with dry Pa∣per, lay in it a Bed of Snuff an Inch thick, then a Bed of Flowers, and so

along till you have no more of it; let it lay so in the Flowers Twenty four Hours: then searce your Snuff, to take out the Flowers, and renew them at the same time; continue so doing four or five days; and when you think your Snuff is Per∣fum'd enough with Flowers, keep it very close in your Boxes, in a very dry place; don't meddle with it when the Flowers are within, because it will not heat.
