_Pearl Grey_.--Give a light blue ground in the indigo vat, then dye in
a new bath with 2 lb. muriate of tin and 3/4 lb. cochineal, working at
the boil to shade.

an hour in a warm bath, then sadden with 3 lb. nitrate of iron to shade,
then lift, wash and dry.
_Pearl Grey_.--Prepare a bath with 3 lb. fluoride of chrome and 4 lb.
Alizarine Bordeaux B. Enter into the bath when cold, then heat to the
boil and work for one and a half hours, then lift, wash and dry.
_Silver Grey_.--The dye-bath is made with 3 lb. fluoride of chrome and
6-1/2 oz. Alizarine Cyanine G G, the dyeing being done as in the last
recipe.
_Greenish Grey_.--A good shade is dyed with 3 lb. fluoride of chrome,
4 oz. Alizarine Bordeaux B, and 4 oz. Diamond Flavine G, working as
given in the above recipe.
_Grey_.--Give a pale blue bottom with an indigo vat, then dye in a
bath containing 1 lb. fluoride of chrome, 1/2 oz. Diamine Fast Red F,
and 3/4 oz. Anthracene Yellow C; work at the boil for one hour, lift,

obtained by the following plan: bottom the wool with a medium blue by
means of the indigo vat, dye in a bath containing 1 lb. fluoride of
chrome, 3 oz. Diamine Fast Red F, and 3 oz. Anthracene Yellow C.
_Slate Grey_.--A good slate grey of a slightly greenish tone can be
dyed in a bath of 5 lb. acetate of ammonia, 3/4 lb. Acid Blue 4 S, and
1/4 lb. Titan Brown R, working at the boil to shade.
_Pale Slate Grey_.--The dyeing is done in a bath made with 5 lb.

Milling Yellow O, or Titan Yellow, turns it to the green side.
