This is a real winner for our area. Save some containers and hanging baskets for these. They come in the regular myrtle colors, including bi-color, and attain a height at about 24 inches. |. . Another future favorite for hanging baskets will be a new vine a rosa in ihe 'Sunbunch' series. White with a pink eye, 'Morning Mist' develops fnto a mound 12 to IS inches high. ' I've never grown gazania, but it's time. Herbst can provide you with summer bloom if you hurry up and sow 'Golden Margarita' and 'Sun dance Red.' These daisy-like lovelies love sun, indifferent soil, and ? requires little c are . There are some new dianthus of ferings out in yellow (Yellow Har mony) and a pure white called 'Swansdown.' However, if you missed Wayside Gardens's 1982 intro called 'Danielle,' you can order this salmon beauty for an affordable price this year. ' It's the same for their 'Mt. St. Helen's' heuchera (coral bells.) This | plant is really worth $3.75 apiece, as it will perform faithfully year after year. We use a lot of coleus in our yard for semi-shade spots.

If you like pink, Wayside Gardens offers Sidaleia 'Elsie Hough,' tall stems of delicate fringed petals for shady spots. 'Lemon Snowflakes' is a yellow ledum from Fleming Flower Fields which would beautifully complement the deeper rusts and oranges of older varieties. Sedums do extremely well in this climate. You can count on them practically forever. Burpee says you'll love their new hollyhock 'Pinafore.' It is only 36 inches high with 4-inch semi-double blooms in varied shades. Pan Am, on the other hand, says you can start 'White Avalanche' begonia from seeds and have a surperb yearound container plant. They've got some poop in there about delphiniums. Let's pass on the delphiniums. Oh, yes, our finale. Bring on the mums. How about 'Petit Point' from Park? In shades of white, gold, purple and bronze, they are touted as being highly frost resistant. We also have 'Mellow Moon' and 'Gold Country,' both with huge (4Vi inch) blooms on sturdy compact plants, flowering in September. These are from Farmer Seed Nur sery. If you're really into fall color, you owe your garden the Chrysan themum 'nipponicum, or Nippon Oxeye Daisy, not new but rare. Be the first on your block. Here's some flowers I picked at random: 'Desiree,' 'Lunette,' 'Plume d'Or, 'Domoto', 'Sweet Surrender,' 'Fascination,' 'Starina,' 'Mon Cherie,', 'Charisma,' 'Fukuju-kai,' 'Dollie Ette,' Matin Bells,' 'Marieseii."

Holes you have to dig yourself, since so far no nursery has offered pre-dug holes. I wish they did, and sometimes wonder why someone doesn't. Packaging problem, I suspesct.

Perquimans pirates ? move on to victory By ERIC SKINNER Perquimans defeated Dixon Bulldogs 81 to 71 in last weeks semi final game, and also defeated the East Carteret team, to satisfy their long awaited revenge, to advance to the final game in Currituck agaist Murfressboro. The buzzer sounded and the Pirates were off, taking Dixon to what was a must win for the Pirates. Dennis Hunter says, "I wasn't a part of the team last year, but I knew from the rtart that we had to have a second show at East Carteret." The first quarter was a sure game of good old fashion basketball, in which neither team pulled away by more than 4 points. It was anybody's game at the end of the first quarter, as the Dixon bulldogs walked off the court with a score of 14-12 Dixon. The second quarter was a dif fertent game as the Pirates came from behind and set the fans as well as Dixon on fire by scoring 21 points offensively and keeping the Dixon Bulldogs to 14 points. Pirate James Riddick snatched down all the rebounds for the Pirates in the third quarter but Dixon held the Pirates to 14 points, scoring 20 themselves. Melvin Coston and Troy Jackson teamed up to make three super plays. At the end of the third quarter, the Bulldogs still trailed 57 48. The fourth quarter was a big period for the Pirates second year veteran, Charles Leigh, as he went to the board scoring, rebounding and making several good plays. They left the game with another win and a final score of 81-71. PERQUIMANS DEFEATS EAST CARTERET The Pirates tried not to think about their loss last year to the East Car teret team who beat the Pirates out in the first round playoffs, by only two points. The First quarter was a close one, as both teams played with caution. Points from Riddick and Coston with the rebounding power of Frierson and Leigh still wasn't enough to give the Pirates the lead. Ward, aln East Carteret player took the ball to the hoop, giving Carteret the lead with a ending first quarter score of 14-12. Coach Webster was off the bench in the second quarter, as a foul called on Jackson not only upset the coach but upset the crowd as well. The Pirates came from behind in the second quarter and scored 19 points compared toCarterets' 14. The third quarter was opened up with both teams playing hard. Carteret, running into the Pirates defense and an on-time steal by Troy Jackson, followed by a steal by Melvin Coston, gave the Pirates a 9 point lead. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 54-45, Pirates. Begining the fourth quarter, Carteret tried to over throw the Pirates defense, but weak shooting from the floor and freethrow line, allowed the Pirates to walk away with another game, leaving the final score 71-62.
