Growing and Kiln-Drying Madder Root for the Dyer (Tomlinson, 1854)
How 19th-century madder growers raised the dyer's red root, from Tomlinson's Cyclopaedia of Useful Arts: shoots set a foot apart in August, lifted after two seasons, dried by air and kiln, thrashed to strip the dark skin, and kiln-dried again in a current of air so the colour is not spoiled.

"The plant is propagated by shoots, which are planted in August, a foot apart, and allowed to remain two seasons, with attention to weeding."

Plant the shoots
In August set madder shoots (Rubia tinctorum) a foot (30 cm) apart in dug ground. Keep the bed weeded for two seasons. The stalks die back each year; the root is perennial.

Dry them outwardly
Dry them outwardly
Dry the roots on the outside in the air and then in a kiln. In very warm climates they are dried without any artificial heat.

Thrash off the skin
Thrash off the skin
Thrash the dried roots like corn to remove the dark outer skin. The skin and fragments are an inferior madder called mull: pack it away separately.

Kiln them again
Kiln them again
Put the naked roots back in the kiln at a higher heat than before, with a current of air through the kiln to carry off the vapours from the roots, which would spoil the colour. Store the dry root in sacks, away from damp.

History and honest limits
History and honest limits
From Charles Tomlinson (ed.), **Cyclopaedia of Useful Arts** (1854), vol. II, "Madder" (checked on the archive.org scan cyclopdiaofuse02tomlrich, p. 209). He gives no kiln temperatures. Growers then ground the root between mill-stones or under knives like a tan-bark mill into a coarse red-orange powder. The metric sizes, the tools and the sacks are ours.
