MANY DYES AT OUR SERVICE
—
Cutting Off of European Supply Need
Not Cripple the Country, Is the
Assertion Made.
Now that the supply of coal-tar
dyes from Europe has been cut off,
the Hardwood Record suggests that
we return to the dyes that were used
before coal-tar colors were invented.
These were derived from bark, roots,
wood and the juices of plants. The
Hardwood Record gives a list of the
most important native plants that
were so used and that are still open
to us.
The yellow oak supplies a fine yel
low dye called quercitron, found in a
thin layer under the outer bark.
The butternut gives a brown with
which the famous Confederate
“jeans” were dyed.
The outer hulls of the nuts of the
black walnut furnish a dark brown.
The roots, bark and wood of the
osage orange produce a fine yellow.
Other yellows can be made from the
yellow wood, mesquit and staghorn
sumac.
The Indians used alder wood for
making a reddish dye.
By boiling the finely chipped
heartwood of the bluewood a black
dye is produced in the valley of the
Rio Grande.
The brilliant red with which the
Indians tinted their eagle feathers
and buckskin garments was made
from dogwood.
Red gum and locust wood were
used also by the pioneers in America,
and the vivid yellow of Chinese silks
is made from a tree similar to the
locust.
