 The Production of Volatile Oils and Perfumery Plants in the United StatesFrank Rabak No 337208, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture Abstract: Report Conclusions: In view of the success which has been achieved in the United States along a number of special lines, the outlook for a very considerable extension of the volatile-oil industry in general seems promising. Favorable conditions of soil and climate seem to be obtainable. With an increased practical knowledge of how to handle the crops of greatest promise and with a working familiarity with the forms of apparatus used in separating the oils, the preliminary steps leading to such an extension will have been taken. Before a full-fledged industry can be expected to appear, however, much preliminary experimental work must be done over a wide area in order to ascertain the most successful combinations of soil, climate, and labor conditions. From the standpoint of the consumption of products derived from volatile oils obtained from plants, the commercial statistics show a large and active market. They also show that the demand is now supplied in very large part from foreign sources, and an active interest in testing the possibilities of our land is suggested.
