Red was obtained from bloodroot. Combining bloodroot with the root of the black walnut gave a purple color. Yellow was obtained by boiling lichens. Blue was obtained from wild grapes and wood ashes boiled together. Should it be found possible to utilize the Indian secrets on a large scale the present distress for dye stuffs in the United States will be relieved.
