Read it through once

It is along the Riviera that one finds a very curious and interesting industry. This is the manufacture of perfumes and essences from the petals of flowers. A great many different flowers are used, such as the Garden Violet, Mignonette (a native of Egypt imported in 1752), Lily of the Valley, Tuberose, "the sweetest flower for scent that grows," Jonquil (_Narcissus jonquilla_), Heliotrope (imported from Peru in 1757), Spanish Jasmine (_J. grandiflorum_), which is a native of Nepaul, and was brought to Europe in 1629, and various Roses.[54]
