Another manner of Perfuming Snuff with Flowers.

GET a good quantity of Sheets of Paper dryed before the Fire, of the bigness and shape or thereabouts of your Boxes; prick them all over with a big Pin; then to Perfume your Snuff with Flowers, lay a Bed of them an Inch thick in the Box; and over one Sheet of that Paper, and over the Paper a Bed of Flowers, and another sheet of Paper over the Flowers; lay over that sheet ano∣ther Bed of Snuff, and continue so doing till you have none left: So the Flowers are between two Papers, and the Snuff too, without touching the Flowers; and

by that means the Snuff takes naturally the Smell of the Flowers, because the same Smell is not corrupted or alter'd by the Snuff. Change your Flowers accor∣ding to the Plenty you have of them; and when you take them out, take up only the sheets of Paper, and pass your Snuff through a fine hair Sieve to let your Snuff through and keep in the Flowers. Flower it so four or five days, and 'tis done.
