_Commercial Horticulture._--In addition to the plantings around his home, the owner of a few acres can at slight expense start small trees for later ornamental use or for sale at a roadside stand, for example. Such small trees and ornamental plants can often be purchased at wholesale prices from nursery companies which have "laying out" stock, as it is called, for sale. The standard large-growing evergreens and deciduous shade trees can be thus transplanted to one's own acres, as can the popular dwarf types of evergreens and flowering shrubs. These may be planted in one area where they can be cared for as a growing crop, or they may be planted in groups for beautifying the premises while they are growing. Again, single plants may be set by themselves and given special attention, later becoming "specimens" which are much in demand by admirers of the species. An appreciation of tree habits can be thus developed by all the members of the family, and considerable income may be obtained in later years, as the trees become "of age," through their sale. We are entering upon an era of making homes attractive as places in which to live and not as houses to go away from. All forms of plant life that contribute to this end will be admired and sought after in the years to come. _Do's_ Give special consideration to location, type of construction and interior arrangement. If building a home, select a type that fits surroundings. Strive for simplicity of lines and full utilization of every cubic foot of space. Remember pre-fabricated houses are practical and likely to supplant some other types of construction. In buying a pre-fabricated house, be sure plans and construction fit needs of family and materials used are adapted to the climatic conditions. Give special attention to convenience and cheerfulness of kitchen. Develop a plan of planting ornamental plants and trees to be carried out in due course. _Don'ts_ Don't try to build a city house in the country. Don't neglect windows in number or size. Don't overlook costs of completed job before commencing building or improvements. Don't neglect the asset value of trees. _Chapter_ V SERVICING THE HOME
