Weld is cultivated on the chalky hills of Surry, being sown under a crop of Barley, and the second year cleaned by hoeing, and then left to grow till it blooms, when it is pulled and tied up in small bundles, and after drying is sent to market, where it is purchased for dyeing yellow, and is in great request. RUBIA tinctoria.
This frog was two inches long, and allied to the Rana tinctoria, the blood of which, it is asserted, introduced into the skin of a parrot, in places where the feathers have been plucked out, occasions the growth of frizzled feathers of a yellow or red colour. The Indians showed us on the way, what is no doubt very curious in that country, traces of cartwheels in the rock.
ANCHUSA tinctoria. ALKANET-ROOT. E. D. Alkanet-root has little or no smell: when recent, it has a bitterish astringent taste, but when dried scarcely any. As to its virtues, the present practice expects not any from it. Its chief use is for colouring oils, unguents, and plasters.
WILLOW. The leaves produce a yellow colour. SCABIOSA succisa. DEVIL'S BIT SCABIUS. The dried leaves produce a yellow colour. SERRATULA tinctoria. SAW-WORT. The whole herb produces a yellow tincture. SENECIO Jacobaea. RAGWORT. The roots, stalks, and leaves, before the flowering season, give out a green colour which can be fixed on wool. STACHYS sylvatica.
