Rose Scented Potpourris
How To Do It
1. Spread petals, herbs & buds in single layer in boxes. Place boxes in warm dry place. Gently stir the contents every few days to make sure petals dry evenly. It usually takes 7 to 10 days to dry completely. Make sure petals are completely dry, or they may get moldy in the mixture.
2. Put dry petals in a container that can be covered. Sprinkle with cloves, cinnamon, allspice and bay leaves then gently stir. Then sprinkle with a fragrant oil. Cover and shake container gently every few days.
3. After a few weeks in the covered container, the dried petals will have absorbed the scents of the spices and oils. At this time the mixture will be ready to use.

There are more than 500 varieties of banana in the world: The most common kinds are Dwarf Cavendish, Valery, and Williams Hybrid bananas. Other types of bananas include Apple and a small red banana called the Red Jamaica. A large type of banana called the plantain is hard and starchy and is almost eaten as a cooked vegetable. The Cavendish is the most common variety of bananas now imported to the United States. The Cavendish is a shorter, stubbier plant than earlier varieties. It was developed to resist plant diseases, insects and windstorms better than its predecessors. The Cavendish fruit is of medium size, has a creamier, smooth texture, and a thinner peel than earlier varieties.
