N. Jenson, Contractor Kenyon and Main, Architects 
Hy-tex Colonials, laid in Flemish Bond with ^4-inch gray mortar-joint flush. 
T HIS attractive home at Minneapolis is faced with Hy-tex Colonials, a 
smooth sand-mold Brick of prevailingly smooth, deep red color-tone, with 
a great variety of shadings and kiln-set marks that greatly enhance the chang¬ 
ing beauty of the wall surface. Note the chaste and pleasing ornamental 
effect produced on the elevations by the soldier and row-lock courses, used not 
only around the entire building, but as sills and lintels in the lower story. 
Hy-tex 
The Standard of Quality in Brick. 
Y OUR first step in connection with building should be the recognition of the all¬ 
round value of brick as a desirable and artistic building material. Almost of equal 
importance is the realization that Hy-tex is the one name which stands for every variety 
of color-tone and texture known to brick-craft, as well as for the highest quality of 
product and service in brick. You can find in the Hy-tex line any brick you want for 
any architectural purpose you choose. 
Y OU should read “Genuine Economy in Home Building" not forwhat it tells about 
Hy-tex Brick but for the light it throws on its whole subject. It is profusely illustrated 
in colors and will be sent to you for 10 cents to cover postage. If you are interested in 
seeing plans, send 50 cents (in stamps) for “The Hy-tex House of Moderate Cost."

You never regret planting Kelly Bros.’ stock. 
rose arch, which acts as entrance to it, 
frames a long vista down the path. 
This minor garden is as informal and 
unsymmetrical in design and planting as 
the other garden is formal and symmetri¬ 
cal. It is left to the lax attention of odd 
moments. 
Japanese quinces and blush roses, old- 
fashioned sweet-scented shrub ( Calycan - 
thus Horidus ) and bush honeysuckles, fra¬ 
grant mock oranges and weigelas are scat¬ 
tered through the ample beds to obstruct 
the view across them. Many flowers grow 
rampant in the borders and encroach upon 
the paths with their spreading foliage. 
There are hepaticas, wind flowers, 
bloodroots and other spring wild flowers. 
There are snowdrops and lilies-of-the-val- 
ley, double buttercups and snow-in-sum¬ 
mer. There are spring bulbs, narcissus 
and tulips, Spanish iris and Fritillaria 
Meleagris, the speckled Guinea-hen flower. 
There are summer bulbs, tbe gold-banded 
lilies, pure white Madonna lilies, nodding, 
Japanese lilies and brilliant tiger lilies. 
There are many-colored gladioli. 
A few Oriental poppies blaze forth their 
scarlet all alone amid dark-green foliage. 
Lychnis and Monarda; Heuchera, the 
Coral bells, and Lobelia, the Cardinal 
flower; each has a special place where its 
color will not hurt more delicate shades 
or be hurt by them.

phila, galium and statice, tropical-looking 
plants like Yuccas, and heavy-leafed 
Funkias. 
There are all kinds of campanulas, hare¬

some white. There are sturdy, blue An- 
chusas, decorative Shasta daisies, yellow 
anthemis and luxuriant phlox. There are 
feathery plumes of Thalictuum, the mea¬ 
dow rue and the odd amethyst sea holly, 
with blue thistle-like globes on blue stems, 
with spiny, blue-green foliage! 
There are summer wild flowers, orange 
milkweed from sandy roadsides, white 
Eupatoriums from the fields, strong, yel¬ 
low mulleins from stony hillsides, and deli¬
