[Histonet] Natural Dyes: Beet Juice

[John Kiernan]

Chapter 17 in the 9th (1977) edition of Conn's
Biological Stains, by RD Lillie, has several
references to use of flower and fruit extracts, 
alone and with aluminium salts, usually producing 
nuclear stains. He doesn't mention beetroot
juice.

If yes, could you please tell me something about it (like the extraction procedure, mordant used, pH and what does it stain). Is there any other Natural dye you would suggest me to use?
