first of a series of stories prepared by the National Association of Real Estate Boards anj published weekly in The Enquiret for the information of its readers on real estate matters. If you own a piece of real estate for which there is no immediate use, blant trees on it, says the National Association of Real Estate Boards in l.s weekly story for the public. Trees and shrubbery Immediately add to the desirability of any plot ind will increase its value for sale. And if you can afford to engage expert help, you can go into the nursery business on a small scale and double ind triple your money in somewhere six years. 'i More and more attention is being paid to attractive landscaping in home areas and trees of certain yarieties, begun when two or three years old and sold at eight and years' growth can usually find a feady market.

Value Of Trees Estimated. I To show the definite influence of trees on realty values, the association poin'-s out that nurseries in suburban areas outside of New York fcity have greatly increased in value as the suburban sections have encompassed them and taken many over as home and estate sites. Here are some of the suggestions contained in the association's bulletin 6n trees: If you plant trees on a vacant plot that may be used later for a home site, place them with regard to the possible location of the house. Then tf you should desire to sell this site you can point out how the placing of the trees will shade the house and thus make landscaping definitely aid your selling. Poplars are good shade trees and are fast growing.

If you plant them across the back of your lot you can effectively screen it from the adjoining lot and you will have gained a desirable privacy when you or a purchaser are ready to build. Trees strategically located in relation to the prevailing winds can help keep a house warm in winter by keeping off the wintry blasts. Evergreens are often used for this purpose. City Forest in New Ilampsliire. The municipal forest is a long-time Institution in Europe, and many towns secure substantial revenues from their woodlands.

Here in America there is at least one municipal forest. William E. Chandler left 800 acres of land to the town of Warner, N. H. This land produces 100 eords of firewood a year.

In a period of eight years the Warner forest has paid for all expenses of this project and has a bank balance of J2.200. In Mercer County, N. a community church owns a twenty-acre wood lot. Needing money the church employed men to thin out the grove. The labor cost $36, and from the wood lot was cut cordwood, fence posts and bean poles that brought a Fub3tantlal sum to tns church ana also left many thriving, fast-growing trees on the lot for future use.

A Chicago stenographer bought a Dlot of Wisconsin land two years ago, paying for it from her $35 a Garden Notes As soon as Iris have stopped blooming is time to cut and divide them so that the plants will have a chance to develop good rooting systems before the summer is over. After tulips are through blooming, cut off tloom stalks to prevent spread of disease. Prune forsythia, lilac and flowering almond. To furnish a late bloom of calendula, zinnia and snapdragon as well as of other annuals, another sowing of annual seeds should be made in seed frames.

Chicago, June 13 The first transcript of the discussion that featured the Problem Dinner held In Balti more, by the Home Builders and Subdivides' Division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards at its convention, shows that leading men In this field are engaged at present in home building programs, that the public has broken all records in attending furnished exhibit houses and that subdivision values had not declined in any of the cities represented at the dinner.

This dinner was one of several held by various divisions of the Real Estate Association at the Lord Baltimore Hotel on May 27. Division members put questions to the veteran builders present which brought out the following statements; Homes Are Under Construction. Many realtor builders are building homes at present and are confident they will sell them. J. C.

Nicols, of Kansas City, Is building 50 homes, one of which will cost $200,000. W. C. Miller, Washington, D. 23 homes, one of which will cost R.

Q. Jarrett, Allentown, has $150,000 in new home construction in progress so far this year; the famous Roland Park Company of Baltimore hag begun the first 30 of its new program of 200 homes, and C.K. Wells, Baltimore; Gordon Beck, of Cincinnati; Arthur Suor, Buffalo; Arnold Hartman, of Boston, reported substantial groups of homes under way. Mr. Nichols described the success of nine shopping centers built In an outlying area in Kansas City developed by his company, and subdivision developments.

He pointed out that the percentage of vacancies among 300 tenants in the nine Kansas City centers is lower than in the central business districts of the city. A new selling technique is needed to meet the general demeanor of the public these days, said Mr. Nichols, who told the realtor builders to coach their salesmen along Pollyanna lines and to teach them to meet prospects with happy faces, and not even mention bad business conditions. The public is steeped in bad news, is constantly reading bad news in all the papers and executives should work closer with their salesmen at this time and see that their methods of approach are more cheerful. Building Costs Declining.

Those present at this dinner agreed that building costs have decreased from 12 to 18 per cent, and that engineering costs for streets, sewers, water mains, are down from 35 to 20 per cent in the same period. The official registration for the Baltimore Convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards was 1,067 realtors from 33 states and 4 Canadian provinces. Takes Time And Skill To Start Lily Hybrid No group of plants offers greater possibilities for development of new and improved varieties than do the lilies, says Dr. David Griffiths, bulb specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture, although in the past the hybrid varieties have been relatively scarce and many hybrids have disappeared because the breeder did not take pains to work up an adequate stock of bulbs to maintain the variety. "To produce new lilies Is not a difficult matter," says Dr.

Griffiths. "The main requisite in the breeder is a steadfastness of purpose, a pros pective long lease of life, and a busi ness or a competence that will permit the expenditure of effort for the ac-complisment of his purpose, for remunerative returns are not to be ex pected." Dr. Griffiths, describing the details of crossing or hybridizing, says that it is after this that the work begins. A cross may produce one or more improved varieties and many other varieties that will be discarded. Then it is necessary to work up a stock of planting material by one of the several processes of vegetative propagation which Dr.

Griffiths describes. He says this is time consuming and may seem laborious, but may be done with comparative rapidity. He cites his own experinece as an example. He planted hybrid seed in the fall of 1918. It lay dormant in 1919 and came up vigorously in 1920.

In 1924 he selected one seedling to establish a new variety. "The bulb was scaled closely and planted immediately. It and its progeny were dug again in 1925, scaled and reset again. It was then left undisturbed until 1927, when a propogation of 1,000 was started. This may be considered as fairly representative of good performance in working up a stock of hybrid lilies.

It takes time, but the results are well worth the i effort. It is estimated that a propa gation of 10,000 ought to be possible from this in August, 1929. With no mishaps, 100.000 plants should be started in 1931." FLOOR COVERING SUGGESTEB Linoleum requires expert laying, and recognizing this the manufacturers have prepared specifications which should be followed with the most exacting care. Linoleum may be put down over any kind of a base so long as it is smooth, but if the base is of wood it must be covered with heavy felt. A cheap job of laying does not include the felt If the linoleum is loose and bulging at any point, you will soon find extra wear there.

The edges especially must be cemented down well and the joints close. If there ig a pattern, adjoining ligrlps must be matched. living room; fireplace of brick; corner cupboard in dining room as shown in sketch; small porch opening off kitchen; two bedioon and complete bath equipment off hall; linen closet in hall; towel closet in bath; storage space in the attic reached by stairway in hall. Because the quality of the small house depends so largely upon the little things, the architect works over them with the greatest care. While the plan must be fine and the construction sound if the house la to achieve real architectural distinction, minor details such as the shape and projection of the cornice, the spacing of the windows are of great importance in the appearance of the house.

In this design such details have been worked out accurately, hence the pleasing qualities of the house. two-apartment building, with built-in garage, 1002 Rutledge Avenue, Price Hill, to John A. Troxell. Dimensions of the lot are 45 by 130 feet. Ihorst Morgan made the sale.

No one advised her what to do with this site, no one knew what her plan was. When she had paid for her holding, she purchased some young trees, entrained to her little "estate," hired some local farm hands and set out her trees. Several times a year she returns to this place, supervises the care of the trees. She expect.s to so beautify thU plot that she can sell it at a big profit or she has figured that she can resell the trees. Realizing that this will take eight to ten years, she states that she cannot make money with her meager salary in any other way; is content to wait.

If you have idle land, the subject of tree planting, even on a tiny scale, is worthy of study. It offers a way to improve your commodity.

Mr. Realtor Says: A DEAL A DAY keeps the BLUES away especially If It is a GOOD deal. Copyright, 1931, by Rudolph Maxwell. TO TREAT WALL SPACE. If a long wall space furnishes the decorative center of a room, the thought should be to build it up and help it to live up to its responsibility.

The usual choice for the piece of furniture to be featured there will lie between a long settee or davenport and a table. Either of these pieces makes a center. Above the large piece of furniture, whatever we finally choose, we should have something very important, a good picture, handsome embroidery, or a large mirror. This ppace is comparable in Its importance to that over the mantel, and should be treated as seriously. with Insulating board or quilt and then stripped for the reception of plaster wallboard.

These methods will be only partially satisfactory in any case. For complete sound-proofing the construction would have to be changed. cj. From information gathered in this column we understand the larger the first mortgage the easier it will be to sell property. We would thank you to explain this.

A. A larger first mortgage generally makes it easier to sell a property because In that case the balance in cash or time pay-is reduced. The purchaser takes up the first mortgage and pays the balance in cash or time payments. If these payments are reduced in total the scheme of financing becomes easier for the purchaser.
