Blue, Permaneuit.— For 3 lbs. of goods, take alum, 5 ozs. ; tartar, 3 

 ozs., chemic. Directions.— Boil the goods with the alum and tartar, in brass, 

 in water to cover well for 1 liour; remove the goods to warm water, in which

Green — First color blue then color yellow, and you have a beautiful 

 green. I know these receipts, (this plan, and the yellow above) to be excellent, 

 for I have used them, says Leo, of Ft. Collins, Col. 



Scarlet on Cotton or Silk. — Warm water, 3 gais.; cream of tartar 

 and cochineal, 1 oz. each; solution of tin, 2 ozs. Wet the goods in warm water, 

 and when the dye boils, put in the goods and boil 1 hour, frequently stirring, 

 them (I say always stirring handling back and forth to air, and make the 

 shade even); then take out the goods and rinse in cold water. — San Francisco
