mmer Meeting 



The New Hampshire Plant Growers' Association 

 1997 Summer Meeting will be held 

 on Wednesday, ]uly 30, at D.S. Cole Growers 

 at 251 North Village Road in Loudon. 



The focus will be on the technology: the houses (from Verbakel-Bomkas 

 of DeLier, Holland) themselves and the many production and environ- 

 mental control systems that make this operation one of the more state-of- 

 the-art in New Hampshire. Highlights include a Priva environmental control 

 system, an Echo revolving hanging basket system, totally moveable bench- 

 ing with an ebb-and-flow subirrigation system, a robotic system for stacking, 

 washing, and moving benches to the potting machine (a |avo, with an auto- 

 matic label dispenserl in the work area, and a half-acre roll-out yard 



The newest addition — which connects the poly houses to the glass 

 range — allows smoother year-round handling of plant material. 



The days activities include a trade show, one of Perillo's all-you-can-eat 

 barbecues, speakers lone of them, Dr Paul Fisher, will be discussing on-site 

 soil testing for greenhouses!, and an auction to benefit our scholarship fund
