If you declare yourself as a sole proprietorship and use your legal name as the declared business name, you can skip the Incorporation and probably the state licensing. You need not use your middle name, and do not add any words to the declared business name. For example: if your name was David Soe, then writing name of business "David Soe" on legal forms but putting "David Soe Nursery" on business cards and signs would be o.k. However, writing "David Soe Nursery" on legal forms would not.
If you live within a city limits, then you might find that the city business license is cheaper than the county license.
