The basis of Maraschino is black cherries, jasmine , roses, orange flowers, etc., fermented and distilled. It is r ecom· mended as an anodyne against nervousness. It is extensively used in the preparation of j ellies, sor– bets, pastry, etc. Montana is prepared from the juices of plants, flowers, roots, etc., growing on the highest moun– tains of America, principally the Rockies a nd A lle– ghanies.
