Now's tha time when the
nrff in an furniture ahoDDine
takes hold. But whether choos
ing a group or a single piece,
the snopper snouia cnoose
wisely.
Fine hardwood furniture
offers beauty and durability,
but one of the most Important
considerations in its choice
should be the type of hard
wood finish best suited to the
ultimate use of the furniture.
According to the Fine Hard
woods association experts, fin
ishes applied by the furniture
manufacturer should add both
decorative and protective
qualities to the wood surfaces.
These finishes perform one or
more of the following func
tions: -Change natural wood col

woods.
The only true ruitwood
now in quantity use is cherry.
Actually, staining in manuiac
ture reproduces the wood
colors but not the wood's na
tural pattern.
-Make woods resistant to
stains and burns: Special super-finishes
now resist all types
of stains, including alcohol,
and protect against accidental
burns. These finishes are ap
plied to "heavy duty" areas of
furniture, such as all types of
table tops and bars ... yet the
beautiful hardwood pattern
remains clearly visible.
-Enhance color and wood
pattern: Better quality furni
ture pieces often "wear" six
to eight coats of a top quality
lacquer hand-rubbed between
coats to emphasize the hard
wood's grain and enhance the
wood's natural color.
"Distressing," also known
as "antiquing," emphasizes
the wood's pattern with
stains. Sometimes these pieces
are high-lighted by wiping off
Die stain at various points, to
afford further illusion of
"wear" by time.

Cardboard Carton

Gardeners can utilize their
cardboard milk containers
for use In preparing plants
for next season's garden, ac
cording to the Zonolite Com
pany of Chicago, manufactur
er of "Terra-Lite" vermicu-
llte, a mineral soil-condition
ing material.
Here's how: Cut off one side
of the milk carton and rinse
out with water. Fill the car
ton to within an inch of the
edge with vermiculite. After
the vermiculite is watered,
sow seeds in the carton. Then
add a thin layer of verculite
over the seeds.
Normally, it is only neces
sary to water the vermiculite
once or twice before trans
planting. Chances of seeds
becoming dislodged, pushed
down too far, or uncovered
are therefore minimized.
When first leaves appear,
young plants should be fed a
mild solution of soluble fer
tilizer. Also, Terra-Lite con

husband's interests are also
considered.
For example. Kitchen Maid

to accommodate a variety nf
beverage bottles.
Among other striking new
Kitchen Maid features is a
kitchen sewing center that
slides out of a base cabinet
at fingertip touch. Another
troublesome storage problem
is solved with a base contain
ing six sliding trays for small
appliances, plus a series of
hooks for storing appliance
cords.
Other innovations are -built-in
storage cabinets for
electric mixer and accessor
