? Hobby Turns Into
Nursery Business
The title is not a new one, for
many small businesses siart as a
backyard hobby. Hinkle's Nursery, a
three-acre canned, broadleaf ever
/v green and azalea liner operation
" located in Beulaville is such a
business.
The nursery was started by
Nathan "Nat" Hinkle more than a
dozen years ago as his way of
relaxing from long selling trips. He
enjoyed growing and propagating
azaleas and found there is a market
for high quality plant materials.
Today the nursery roots about one"
million azalea liners (about 150
cultivars) during the summer
^ months. The rooted cuttings are
over-wintered in greenhouses and
sold during winter and spring
months.
During this time, Nat's son, Disel,
was growing up in the business. It
was Nat's hobby and a business for
Disel, who enrolled in Lenoir Com
munity College's horticulture pro
gram in Kinston. Upon graduation in
the spring of 1980, Disel started^
running the nursery full-time for his
dad.
After four years, a few changes
have occurred. As of 1984, Disel is
the sole owner of Hinkle's Nursery
and this spring Disel's wife had a
fine healthy boy, who perhaps may
follow in his father's steps. Nat will
not be far from the business and may
start some new venture in the near
future.
The nursery is worth a visit if vou
are in the area to see where a hobby
can lead. The nursery may be
reached by writing Hinkle's Nursery,
P.O. Box 441, Beulaville, NC 28518.

Pink Hill To Sponsor Jail-A-Thon
Pink Hill residents will have an
opportunity to take out a "warrant"
for their next door neighbor, the
mayor, their minister, or other
"criminals" when a Jaif-a-thon for
the benefit of the American Cancer
Society is held Oct. 18-19. This
first-time event for Pink Hill should
be a great success if the results in
other communities such as Mount
Olive and Kenansville are used as
examples. Over $8,000 was raised in
each town for the American Cancer
Society.
During the event, you may tele
phone the "Jail." a wooden struc
ture resembling a jail cell which will J
be located at the First Citizens Bank 1
in Pink Hill. During the phone call a
you give the name of the person you
wish to be "arrested" b> off-dutv
policemen and the location where the
"criminal" may be found.
Arrest fees are $20 per person and
the "bail" for the "criminal" will be
a minimum of $100, but will be
higher for more desperate or vicious
offenders. The participants are
brought to the "jail" and given
telephones to call their friends,
neighbors and relatives to obtain
pledges for the ACS. These pledges
onstitute the person's "bail."
Jsually only one hour or less is spent
t the site. The Jail-a-thon is
scheduled from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on
Oct. 18 and from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
on October 19.
