Berkeley, Cal, gave her winning wallpaper. The abstract design, presented originally in lavender lines ‘on a black background, is shown as a background to the furniture above. The uppracticed eye might think it resembles a doodle or a few indiscriminately drawn lines. The judges dubbed it a provocative expression of a modern wall treatment. Whatever its interpretation, it's hand-screened and washable. Joan Maag, New York, took

a cue from nature when she’

designed her prize-winning seashell fabric. Brown and white

cotton-and viscose rayon yarns are interwoven in a firm-bodied rough-textured. fabric which could be used either for upholstery or drapes.

A husband-wife team, Erwinie

and Estelle Laverne, New York, christened their printed fabric, Atmospheric No. 1.” They tried to create a mood through color and a sense of space.

Home Greenhouse Gives Plants an Early Start

LITTLE, BUT JUST WAIT!—Tommy Hunt ivestigales his father's two-inch tomato plants. Both Tommy and plants are small

now . . . but just wait!

BY MARGUERITE SMITH IF SEIBERT HUNT'S present two-inch-high tomato plants at 406 BE. Sumner Ave. know what's expected of them, he'll

be eating ripe tomatoes when |

the rest of us are just setting out plants. That's because several years ago he built himself a heated - from - the - basement greenhouse. Mostly he's used it for his hobby of raising cactus and a few amaryllis from seeds. It comes in handy though for starting early vegetable seedlings. This year he bought a few small tomato plants already started, just to raise super-early salad. The bulk. of his early seed-

lings are a family project. “He |

fixes the boxes, I plant the seeds,” Mrs. Hunt explained. Tommy, 5, and Patricia Anne, 3, come in on the finish just to make it complete. . . ® HERE are Mr. Hunt's ideas your own seedlings: “Most failures come from inadequate sunlight and damping off. (He might have added too hot dry air, except for his greenhouse.) “I find that vermiculite helps tremendously to prevent damping off, h Stipedally if it's used on top of the seed box. Sphagnum moss (not peat moss; which

absorbs moisture, then packs down) acts much the same. “For ordinary seeds, like tomatoes, I put a half inch or so

vermiculite. If the seeds are a little tricky, like petunia seeds, sometimes I mix half sand half soil fer the box, then all the vermiculite on top. “The trouble you get into raising seedlings indoors is if you keep fhe. enough for usually so damp off. Vermiculite or sphagnum moss on top of the soll acts like straw on the garden in summer, It's dry because air can circulate through it but at the same time it keeps the soil moist underneath.” . - . ANOTHER idea that worked well last year: “I pot up my tomato plants as they grow, so when warm weather comes I can transplant them into the garden with no shock to the roots. But they're likely to pretty tender growing
