Of these can easily be secured IN one
building. and that may De a very

plain plaster effect, II rough an tho
better, and afterwards covered with
vines and creepers. A foreword about
the finishing OF concrete walls. They
may be plastered after the forms are
taken away This Is not the cheap
way, nor does Il always look best.
They may be etched with acid to take
away the newness and rawness; this
gives a very pretty effect, Or they
may be hammered with a rough faced
hammer, similar to what cooks use for
making tender beef steak; this also
gives a nice roughness. The plata
plaster wall looks better. usually, than
the wall made of blocks initiating
stone; the latter is too m%onotonous.
Il Is not practicable to color the
whole mass OF concrete 90 initiate

coloring matter. The best color is the
dry iron ore red. IL might be put on
as a wash after the wall was complete.
