Boil the boughs of cedar in two or three gallons of water, for several
hours, in an iron vessel; strain it off, add half a tea-spoonful of
copperas, put it on the fire, and put in the articles you wish to dye;
let them boil a few minutes, then hang them up to dry. This will dye
sage color, and can be used for cotton, woollen or silk, and has the
advantage of retaining its color. The cedar boughs should he used in the
fall of the year, when the berries are on them. Pear bark is an
improvement and makes the color darker.
To Dye Olive.
Make a strong sage tea, and add copperas and alum till it is dark;
strain it; dip the cloth or silk in weak soap-suds, and then in the dye,
and air it, till it is the color you wish.
Maple bark and copperas make a good dark color for common purposes.
