Magenta, - Crimson. Violet

Dye in a neutral bath (a neutral bath is a bath of clean water only). Start at hand heat, and raise the temperature of the bath to below boiling point, but do not boil. The amount of dye to be used will depend upon the color you want to produce; the goods may be raised from time to time, and more dye added. Care should be taken to turn the goods well while in the bath; wash in clean cold water, wring, and dry.

For Silk, dye as above, only add a little dissolved Marseilles soap.

Scarlets And Cardinals

For 50 pounds of goods, (smaller quantities in proportion), take one pound cochineal substitute, or one pound cardinal red, dissolve, and add to a bath soured with oil of vitriol until the bath is about as sour as weak vinegar; enter the goods at hand heat, turn well while raising to the boil, and boil 30 minutes. Wash in cold water, wring, and dry.
