THE SECUET OF C O Xj O It X 3Xr Gr W06LEN AND COTTON so THAT THEY WILL NOT FADE» • Many people suppose that the same dyes that they have used with entire success upon woolen, must prove equally satisfactory upon cotton goods. This however^ will not always be the cascfor while many of the regular dyes for wool- en will answer well on cotton, ma- ny will not do at all. Others wilt dye the goods quite well, and on rinsing loose nearly all their color, • Now then, in furnishing the follow- ing recipes, care has been takea to give particular directions for both. The publisher desires to say further, that all the recipes herein given, have either been originated or proven by personal investiga- 2 APOTHECARY HALL. tions, and that if good dyes are used by skillful manipulators ^s lieiein directed, no one need fail to obtain a good color. Do not try to color a large amount ©f cloth with a small amount of dyes. Use plenty of water while coloring, as the cloth or yarn will take out all the coloring material whether there is more or less wat- er, and when there is plenty of water the cloth will not dye spot- ted. In coloring old goods always select a deeper or darker shade if you change the color at all. A clean w.ooden stick with which to lift the eloth frequently to the air while in the heated dye, should always be used. Before buying your dyes weigh your cloth if you have conveniences or estimate its weight. Turpentine. Boild Oil. APOTHECARY HALL. 3 For 4 lbs. ]?Iaddcr Red, on WooIeiK Take 2ft)s. Madder. 4 ozs.

Always in stock as good Japan Tea as this or any other market affords, unless the flower or tea blossom is obtained, which is a rare case in this country, the wealthier class of the tea growers making- use of it themselves. Travelers who have visited the tea growing sections in China and other places, state, that when the tea plant ob- tains its usual higlit, which is from two to three feet, it branches con- siderably and puts forth a small blossom which possesses in a high degree the flavor and odor of the plant itself, and when picked and cured is as much more delicate than the tea leaf as the rose flower is fip-er than the rose leaf. In se- lecting our Japan Tea, we take only the early pickings, as the leaf is much more tender and delicate in 10 APOTHECARY HALL. its flavor than after it has grown to maturit3^ We keep only one grade of tea, and if there is an}^ purchaser whose taste it does not exactly please, by returning the same the money will be cheerfully refunded.
