Quercitron Bark. This dyeing matter, as its name indi- cates, is the inner bark of a tree ; the Quercus tmctoria, or black oak, growing in several parts of America. It was introduced into England, at the close of the last century, by Dr. Bancroft, well known for his treatise on " Permanent Colors. " It soon came into use, as being cheaper and stronger than the yellow coloring matters then known in the trade. It is sold in the ground state, has a yellow color, a bitter taste, and a peculiar smel...l. It dyes up good yellows upon wool and cotton on the first with a tin mordant, and upon the second with an alumina mordant. The coloring matter is very soluble in water, and is much used for steam colors, under the name of bark liquor ; its principal use in this respect being for compound shades, from dark chocolate down to the lightest drabs, grays, etc. Its yellow, either by itself or with blue in forming a green, is not liked so much as that which can be obtained from other sources. With iron mordants it gives shades of gray, olive, and black, not good in themselves, but which combine well, and modify the shades produced by other dyewoods.
