Though the wood of this tree has been used for many years in a desultory manner for dyeing by the Indians in the Red Valley region of Texas, America, its employment as a dyestuff has only recently engaged the attention of the United States Forest Service. As the -result of its examination by Kressmann (Journ. Amer. Leather Chemists Association, 1915, 347), it has been found that its dyeing properties are very similar to those given by old fustic, the shades which it produces being, however, slightly purer and somewhat less red in tint. A qualitative study of the aqueous extract showed that the dyeing principles present consisted as in old fustic of morin and maclurin, but that the unknown red constituent present in this latter was practically absent. Though apparently the tinctorial strength of distinct samples of the osage orange wood is somewhat variable, this is probably on the average quite equal to that of old fustic, and this wood can be satisfactorily employed not only for textile but also for leather dyeing.
