SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 17:, 1860
FRENCH FLOWER FARMS.
There is something calculated to charm even
the dullest imagination in the very name of a
flower tram, in the very idea of an agriculture
limit-ed to bright petals, and odorous staining,
of crops of blushing buds, and harvest of per—
fumed blossoms. Such farms exist in Italy, in
colder Germany even, where a fai’ored spot of
sunny land seems suited to the purpose ; nor
is England quite without rose forms and lav
ender farms. But there are more flower farms
in l’rovezlce than in all the rest of Europe.—
The traveler from Cannes to Grassc. or from
Grasse to Druguigan, passes through the centre
ofadistrict which it is no poetical exaggeration
to (all a land of flowers. b‘hellerrd from rude
breezes by a range of projecting hills, fully ex
posed to the southern sun, and in the centre ol
most delicious part of sweet Provence, this strip
ot‘country seems indeed the porter-re oi Europe.
Every breath ofsummer wind is laden with the
fresh scent of myriads 0f flowers; cvory field is
a. garden; every proprietor isn flower grower ;
the golden age seems to be realized there, and
an Arcadia to exist. more graceful and unreal
than that of the poets. And yet it is not all
Arcadia, even there. Spring and summer are
anxious seasons. The owner of all these odor
ous treasures is often found a careworn man,
Watching the sky and the weather glass as aux
iously use sea captain in uncertain weather,
and groaning over the ravages of blight and
insects among his acres of blossoms. These
blossoms are destined to supply the great distil—
leries of Grasse, renownt d .hroughoul Europe.
The word “ distillery” has a fiery alcoholic ring
in it, which is a libel on the industry by which
Grassc lives and thrives. Let me human to say
that the distilleries of Grasse aim at pleasing
the olfactory sense, not at soorching the palates
or stupcfying the intellects of mankind. Grasse
distils nothing more hurtful than subtle essen
ces and dainty perfumes. It is a. beautiful
sight, in good seasons, that floral harvest; the
gathering of those snowy mounds of White
orange blossoms, with their perfumed breath
and maiden purity ; the gleaning of those
purple violets, those clustering jasmines, those
honeyed tube roses. More productive and
gorgeous still is the ocean of crimson roses,
pink roses, white roses, of every size and va
riety, which are born, to yield their choicest
sweets to the cunning alchemy of flowers. All
this beauty, industry and prosperity, originated
in a very singular way, and owed its commence
ment to the constancy and attachment ofa pair
of lovers, and the prompt wit of an humble
French peasant.
In the year 1800 these Provencal flower
farms did not exist; there were not .then, as
now, in the town of Grasse, a. hundred stills,
continually producing those delicate scents
which are now sold at a. high price in every city
of the civilized world. French perfumes were
distilled in Paris alone, from the produce of
Italian gardens; while the more valual-le kinds
of essence were drawn from Italy, and chiefly
frdmdi’s‘lorence, which had been renowned for
_ itfpofgfume‘rfidts'poisops during the learned
sway of the Medici. At this time there dwelt
in the village of Mery les Roches, three miles
from Grasse, an old man of considerable wealth,
doubtfulreputeandimperious character. named
Jean Baptiste Desormes. Old Desormes owed
his doubtful repute, in part, but in part onl,y
to the manner in which his‘fortane had. been
acquired. lam afraid we shouldhe but a little
edificd bya. full account of his early career.
His biographcrs simply mention that he had
been it luckey of the Marechal do Mirepoix,
and had been as useful in Paris as " Scapin
Malicious.” This newer impersonation of the
illustrious Scapin had somehow managed to
render great services to his employer, or to
master enough of his employer’s secrets, to
make him of consequence, for he was suddenly
.mado intcudant of the Mirepoix’ estates, in
the neighborhood of Grasse. Desormes was
not much liked. There were ugly rumorsabout
his curly career. He was a severe taskmasker,
and laid on the corneas and the dimes, and the
other taxes and local exactions which the
scigneurs of pro-revolutionary France were
wont to screw out of their tenants with un
sparing hand. Yet, somehow, the steward was
more popular than the landlord, for the latter
was never seen, and the absent arc proverbially
made to hear the burden of sins they were
never art or part in. If a peasant were flogged
or imprisoned, if a poor woman’s cow, or a
poor man’s seed corn wore confiscated for some
trifling ofi'ence or omission, it was always the
fault of M. 1e Marechal. The marshal was so
”Vere—the marshal’s orders were so precise,
so unfecling—the marshal had the heart of a
flint. The artful intendant probably perceived
the mutterings‘ of the brewing storm, and was
preparing himself a refuge when its fury should
sweep over the land. 80 it came to pass that
old Desormes, by dint of cunning hints, threw
most of the blame of his acts on the seignenr,
and acquired for himself a sort of consideration
by painting M. de Mirepoix of demonioc
blackness. Yet, somehow or other, grind and
screw as Desormcs might, very little of the
golden stream wrung out of hard pinched toil
flowed into the coffers of the lord. The mare
chal sometimes had to borrow, at usurious
interest, from Desormes himself, or from a
Paris Jew, thegold pieces be staked at ombre
or Dorset; and while the plundered villagers of
Mery were cursing monseignenr, monseigneur
was at the court, with empty pockets, smearing
at the rascally intendant who fattened on him!
Why was not Desormes dismissed? Ah ! there
the biographer loses his lucidity, and recurs
to rumor and common fame. Rumor declared
that M. do Mirepoix was afraid of his steWnrd,
who held him in check by a secret. Common
fame soul that Desormes kept under lock and
key 391118 mysterious letters of M. to Merechal,
the disclosure of which to his Majesty the
King, would have opened the gates of the
Bastile, and given the governor of that inter
esting fortress another guest of rank.
The great storm burst, and the aristocracy
of France had the alternative of death or exile.
The old marechal was dead; his widow, whose
jointure was formed by the Provencal estates,
emigrated and sought safety in Germany. We
all know hy how summary process the estates

tones were made or overturned in a day. At
any rate, Desormes turned republican. saved
his neck. and, with what he had amassed in his
stewardship. bought half the Mirepoix estate.
In 1800 he was growing old and frail; but
by this time the red fever had cooled down, the
rule of Napoleon was looming in the future,
and M. Deeormes. no longer Citizen, was fawned
upon as the richest man in the arondissement.
He had 30.000 livres of annual revenue, and,
like a true provincial Erenohman, did not spend
a third of his income. No wonder that his
daughter, Marie Desormes, had suitors in
plenty. Her inheritance was a glittering bait
that. magnetized the susceptible bachelors of
the department. Mafia was handsome enough,
and good enough, and sprightly enough :0 have
been loved for her own sake. One, and only
one, of her many admirers did love her for her
own sake—Pierre Loscunt, a young farmer of
the neighborhood. They hm). played together
as children; Pierre had gathered the daisies
and eeurlet poppies that Mario wove into crowns
and ropes of flowers; Pierre had climbed the
tree to shake down the walnuts into his little
playmmc’s apron. But of all the pretenders
to pretty Marie’s hand, Pierre Lescant, though
at, once the handsomest, the mauliest, the best,
was, alas! the poorest ; and in acountry where
there is ‘so intimate a. connection between
money-making and matchmaking, Plums is
generally lord of the ascendaut.
Everybody expected that. old M. Desormes—
a. choleric, tyrannical old fellow in most rela
tions of life, as are many whose early servitude l
has forced them into a. supple obsequiousness
foreign to their true naiures-Wolll(l compel
Marie to accept the suit. of old Colin llegrisson,
who was lame, squinting and sixly; but. who
lmd feathered his nest. gloriously when the
emigrants’ lands were brought. to the hammer,
and louis were scarce in France. Colin Legris—
son was the richest. of Marie’s admirers; Pierre
Lescant was the nccdicsl. Could M. Descrmes
hesitate? New, curious] y enough, M. De’sormcn
(lid hesitate. Thatunscrupulous, grasping-man
had one soft spot in his flinty hen-rt. ; he really
low-d his daughter, and none the less, perhaps,
because she was Llie only object on which those
yenrnings of affection, of which even the worst
of us are capable, could expend themselves.—
DeSHrmr-s had lost; his wife yours and years ago,
when Marie was still on infant. He had no
other child. He was alwuyé. kind to his
(laughter—that. is, he never beat nor scolded
, her, 'to the wonder of the neighbors, for he was
‘ a hard master, and had become a severe land
-1 lord, us soon as the mob-law of early Jacobin
, ism had sufiicicntly died out. to render unpopu
‘ larity safe; and his voice, in speaking to
l Marie, was never the harsh sarcastic voice
‘ which his debtors knew and trembled at.—
Accordingly, old Desormcs shrank from com
i polling Marie’s choice. He took good care to
1 let. her know that he would wish her acceptance
1 of lame. squinting, old Colin Legrisson; but
1 he did not absolutely command it. The maiden
was not without sense and spirit; she dctcatod
Colin and loved Pierre. To force her to give
up the second, and marry the first, would be
difficult, her father thought, but by no means
impossible for his iron will; but it. could only
be etfected by severity, by violence—Marie
must be broken, not. bent. And she might, die,
and he would be left alone—for young girls’
hearts are curious things, and he had known
than capable of even such bctim us dying,
when such cases had occurred—o. childless old
men in a world that hated him; and who, 0
who would inherit. the gold he had sold his
conscience for? All these things old Decor-mes
'broodcd over, and the result was that he told
Moria-he, nopedfihg'woulcl fancy oltleLeg-risson,
who had lands and hooves; but. if'notz, why,'he
must. trust. some other sozzpimnt'with a snug
fortune would be forthcoming. The ex-intencL
ant. had no dislike to Pierre Lescunt; he
admired the young man’s courage, industry
and even his honesty, as people often admire
qualities quite removed from their own. But
l’ierre Lescant’s term was only a. mere patch
of land, and he picked up only a scanty living
out, of his little vineyard, and his score or two
of olive trees. "Thou shall. never marry a
beggar, my girl,” the tax-steward would say,
striking his stick on the floor. “If Pierre can
Show twenty thousand crowns lournois on the
wedding day, good ! I bestow my blesflng, and,
what is better, I double the money. But»,
marry a beggar! thou shalt coifi'er Si. Gama.-
rine sooner Ihan that!” Now, to .cafifcr M.
auburizze, in French parlance, is to die an old
maid.
“Ah! Pierre,” said the poor girl, with tears
in her eyes, as the lovers walked up and down
the garden of Pierre’s form, while the old ser
vaut,underwhose chaperonnge Marie had come,
sat knitting in an arbor—“An! Pierre, why
have you not twenty thousand crowns ‘2 Cannot
you ,in any way get twenty thousand crowns?”
Pierre groaned, and struck his forehead.
“What chance have 1, Marie 2” he rejoined--
“Your father is firm as a. rock, I know, and I
can’t blame him, for no one thutjs rich likes his l
child to wed with poverty. But what on earth
can Ido ‘2 These few poor acres. that vineyard,
those olive trees—l might sell them all, and not
get a fifth of the money. Twenty thousand
crowns! that sum does not grow on the hedges,
Ah! but I wish it did.” And Pierre looked
quite angrily at his pretty garden, full of bloom
ing flowers of every hue, whose mingled fro.-
granee floated towards him on the balmy air,
and the very hedges of which, as is not unusual
in the South, were composed of blush roses.
"How I wish, for thy sake, my Marie, that I
could coin these flowers into gold 1” .
Now, it oftone happens that a word hastily or 1
lightly spoken suffices to give a color and a di
rection to the entire thoughts of the speaker or
the heater, and perhaps to change his whole
career and prospects. “I wish that I could
coin those flowers into gold !” Those words of
his own haunted Pierre’s car through all the
livelong afternoon; long after Marie had left
him, long after the shades of evening had begun
to embrown the forests, and the bees were co
ming back, heavy laden, to the hive, end the
rocks were flapping home in sable line. Still
Pierre mused and walked alone, with knitted
brow and drooping head. What could he do?
He loved Marie so dearly. He knew her parent
would never go back from his word, never per
mit their union, unless he, Pierre, became a
rich man. And how to become rich l He looked

Pierre’s father had *3“? head gardener at the

stocked his own .grouud‘, no doubt, with many a.
slip and shoot of plants rare in France at that
time. The, garden was renowned for its beauty
and fragrance for leagues around; and when a
wedding took place, Pierre Lescant was’ always
petitioned to furnish o. bouquet for the bride
from the treasures of living gems that flourished
in 1115 pnrt'erres. Pierre could net get the roses
and gernnlums out of his head; their perfume,
their hnlllancy seemed to haunt him since his
internew with Marie. That evening, as he sat
alone amid his poor furniture of brown walnut
wood, in his white washed room, he revolved
many vague ideas in his head, and sighed as
common sense seemed to overrun all his card
aestles one after another.

laughter and elfin scorn. But. the grover and

“Hc loves,” she said; “he is no miser, seeking

; and sweeter, till fairies, flowers, g- id, and
l gnomes vanished away in it, and nothing was
; seen but. mist. And Pierre awoke, with the
‘ scent: ofthe blossoms overpowering him.
It. was early morning—the sun was streaming
on Me time, the dew was drying away. the early
perfumes of the rose garden come through the
open window of the room. Now, Whether the
dream suggested the recollection of long~forgot
ton remarks that; his 'i‘mh'er had sometimes
made, or whether the recollection of such re
marks was the true origin of the dream. I do
not pretend to say ; at. any role, Pierre, with an
anxious but hopeful face, trudged through the
fields towards the town of Grosse. In Grasso
there dwelt and old Italian druggist- and herba
list, who had a mean bare shop. and picked up
but a mean bare living by his traffic in simples
and confections. He was a native of Florence,
and had a reputation for learning : but few cus
tomers were attracted by the stufl’ed alligator
over the door, and the dusty shay and jars, and
‘ bottles, and the long lean figure of the maestro
‘ himself, and his suit. of rusty block. In short,
he was just: such an npothecory as Romeo se
lected for the purveyor of the deadly drought,
and to his half empty Shop did Pierre Lesoant,
another luckless lover, repair, but. not for poi—
j son. Long was the conversation between the
l young Provencal furmm- and the old druggist,
l and it ended in the latter‘s accompanying
' Pierre homewortls. with a. gleam of unusual
l excitement on his lean brown face.
The apolhecary spent-hours in Pierre Les
cant’s garden, going from flower to flower,
anifling, ogli'ng’, and oven tasting petal and pol.-
leu, ands amen, gazing at thehuds through a
horn-mounted magnifying glass, and chuckling
the while in a strange ghostly way. The
neighbors, who had some BuSpiclon that the
gaunt stranger in sable was a wizard, stored
and wondered. More heartily did they wonder,
a. little later, when Pierre was seen shifting his
fences, andday after day, enlarging his garden.
Now he took in a slip of vineyard, now :1. corner
of his fields; anon he won: ol'r' to the forest
with his men, to search for fine block mould;
and next. dny he was busy grafting, sowing,
cutting, and Irausplantiug among his flower
'beds. He was enlarging his already ample
garden. That; was odd enough ; but when,
insteud of stocking the ground with pulse and
pothcrbe, Pierre actually begun I!) cultivate
flowers with tender solicitude and skill on e'very
spore inch of earth, the whole neighborhood
was up in arms. He was pelted with good
advice. Let him grub up all those use'ess
flower-stocks, and grow honest leeks and garlic,
if he wished to be thought a. man of sense.
Pierre was firm. liis friends said he was ob
stinotc, foolish, mad; very likely bewitched
by that loan llaliou wizard from the town, who
was now always to be seen coming up and
whispering to Pierre, and who was after no
good, doubt-less. The neighbors were quite
angry with Pierre; old and young predicted
his ruin; old Desormos pronounced him an
idiot. Marie alone encouraged her lover, shared
his hopes, prayed for his success. and cheered
him as only a. faithful Women can cheer a
struggling man. That was a good year for the
olives, and a. decent vintage, and Pies-roman
aged to rub on, neither saving nor spending
more than he could afi‘ord. ...
The short winter passed, spring and summer
came on. The flowers were more glorious and
plentiful than ever in Pierre’s now very extended
garden. The old Italian chuckled as be marked
them. Then came a. great gathering of blos
soms,and Mario come to help in the picking
of the flowers, and the old Italian rubbed his _
bony hands with exultmiou. Anon, his furnace
l was noted to be strangely active; he was per
‘ pcluolly at work, brewing, simmering, and dia
tilling. The Icon Italian was a man of Skill;
he succeeded in producing—thanks to the rare
flowers in Pierre’s garden—essences and per
fumes equal to the dainticst Florence _could
all’ord. IL was on era. of ultra-nationality.—
Jogcphine, the then adored wife of the first
Consul, was asked by a deputy of the South. 11
pmon ofthe druggist’s, to accept the dedication
of the new discovery. Josephine consented.—
Paris followed suit. Giacomo Framinclli and
Pierre Lcscnnt sold their whole smck at a high
rate. All the flowers in Pierre’s gardcowould
not, multiplied lenfold,h:lvc supplied the de
mand that sprung up with mushroom rapidity.
Pierre throw all the land he had into the com
: pass of his garden fence; he bought more land;
he reared more and more flowers. The fairies
had spoken truth; flowers were, indeed, by a
delicate alchemy, transmitted into gold, and
soon it. was difiioult, in the portly, Well-fed
Italian, clad in glossy black, to recognize the
rusty scarecrow of other days.
And Pierre and Marie, their share of the joy
and success was the purest and the fullest —-
Before the end of the second summer the bells
rung, and the girls of the village strewed flow:
ers in the path of Marie, 115. garlauded With

could appreciate at their full value; and, al
though the prescribed sum of twenty thousand
crowns were not yet. realized, Pierre was on the
highway of fortune. He had, in truth, founded
