 the best turmeric, savoy, or green wood, a little 

 of each would do best, boil slowly for an hour, 

 take out the hackles, rinse them, and you will

 green by dyeing the blues darker or lighter, 

 and putting in more yellowing stuff and less 

 blue when light yellow greens are requiredj boil 

 gently, and look at the hackles often to see that 

 they have taken the shade you want.
