Take a quantity of touch-me-not gathered on the 

 stems, and bruise it weli in a wooden mortar — On layers 

 of touch-me not and wool alternately, pour rain water 

 or soft water from a spring until they are covered — 

 let it stand twenty four hours — then have ready a strong 

 lather of soft soap and wash it out and putit immediately 

 in the sun to dry. Salmon color may be made by using 

 hard soap instead of soft — These colors brighten by 

 washing. 



Touch-me not is found in low places — the stem is pale 

 green, and the flower nearly of the color that it dyes — 

 It grows as high as six feet.
