Ill 



carmine, yen* brilliant and very pure, obtained by 

 Mr. Rupprecht, of Vienna, from the florets of the 

 dahlia. He regards it as a valuable product, and 

 says that he has obtained 235lbs. of pigment from 

 200 square fathoms of land. It has already been 

 applied to staining confectionery, artificial flowers, 

 fancy paper and leather, and in the preparation of 

 rouge. It seems, however, too fleeting for silks and 

 cottons. Only the deep clear purple dahlias will yield 

 it. (Gard. Chron. 1841, 119.)
