on TIE WILD Indigo PLANT.

.WpsSrS. Editors While we are anxously COPY
ing the manipulation. OF European artists in our
dye houses, we are neglecng to use an ndigenou,
plant, lar more valuable than any thing of the kind
contained, or used in Europe Our blue dyers be-
gan with the ash vat, described by Berthoiet, and
others, and which DR. Bancroft informs u.s. sis so
costly, as 10 be chiefly employed to dye silk II
this were the only objection, it would in itself be
sufficient 10 induce an alteration but when IN ad
dition to this we know that the colour is not so
bright, or so permanent, as when indigo is fermen-
ted by some vegetable basis containing in itself the
primitive colouring matter shall be much sur
prised that this mode of dyeing has been so long
continued.
The plant used by Europeans, from time imme.
mortal, to erment their blue watts, has been the
lsats, or woad, which is indigenous in England and
other parts of Europe.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that it should be
used there, as nothing better offered itself; but in
the United States we have the wild indigo plant,
growing abundantiy every where, that possesses all
the valuable Preventative properties of woad with
twenty times as much coloring matter, and giving
tint that Tor permanency and brlliancy is unriya-
led.
1t is well known according to Mr.. Carkson, that
the African dyes are superior to those of any other
part Of the globe.
1.-The blue is so much more permanent and beau
plant IN other parts, that many have been led to
doubt whether the African cloths brought into this
country (England) were dyed with indigo or not.
They appreheDdrd, that the colors in these, which
became more beautiful upon washing, must have
proceeded from another weed, or have been an ex-
traction from other woods which are celebrated for
dyeng there.
The matter however, has been clearly ascertain
ed gentleman procured two or three OF the balls
which had Just been prepared by the Africans for
use he brought them home, and upon examination
ound them to be the leaves OF indigo rolled up in a.
very simple state.''
Having noticed the above article in Doctor Ban
croils incompatible work on permanent colors,
was induced last fall 10 collect some of the plant
not with an intention Of coorng with it, as had no
means OF preparing it for that purpose but to use
IN the woad watts in the place OF sw from bran and
madden to assist their fermentation, which were
weak owing TO the woad being of inferior quality.
