_Dark Blue_.--Prepare a dye-bath with 1-1/2 oz. Acid Violet 5 B, and
1-1/2 lb. Fast Green Bluish, 10 lb. Glauber's salt, and 2 lb.
sulphuric acid, working at the boil to shade; then lift, wash and dry.
_Deep Blue_.--Make a dye-bath with 4 lb. Chromotrop 6 B, 10 lb.
Glauber's salt, and 4 lb. acetic acid. Work for one hour at the boil;
then lift, add 2 lb. bichromate of potash and 3 lb. acetic acid,
re-enter the goods and work for one hour longer; lift, wash and dry.
The blues produced from the Chromotrops according to the last (p. 155)
recipe are full, solid-looking shades, and have a great degree of
fastness to milling and light. Some other examples showing the
production of blue shades from the Chromotrops will be given later on.
_Violet Blue_.--Prepare a dye-bath with 2 lb. Victoria Violet 8 B S,
10 lb. Glauber's salt, and 2 lb. sulphuric acid, working at the boil
to shade; then lift, wash and dry.
_Deep Blue_.--A fine deep blue is dyed on wool from a bath containing
6 lb. Victoria Violet 8 B S, 10 lb. Glauber's salt, and 2 lb.
sulphuric acid, working at the boil to shade.

Cyanole extra, 10 lb. Glauber's salt and 2 lb. acetic acid.
_Electric Blue_.--Make the dye-bath with 4 oz. Cyanole extra, 1 oz.

Formyl Violet S 4 B, 4 oz. Patent Blue V, 25 lb. Glauber's salt, and
4 lb. bisulphate of soda, adding 1 lb. sulphuric acid when the dyeing
is about half done.
The navy blues given in the last few recipes possess the merit of
considerable resistance to light, air and milling.

Glauber's salt.
