^ The other co-hosl of this year's 

 ^^ summer meeting is Doug Cole 

 at D. S. Cole Growers in Louden. 

 Visitors will have a chance to see his 

 new house — a four-bay, 17,000 square 

 fool glass house with venlo-style roof 

 manufactured by Verbakel-Bomkas 

 of Holland. 



The several systems within the house 

 are as interesting as the house itself. 

 A Priva computer system for environ- 

 mental control controls both climate 

 and irrigation (hanging basket, ebb- 

 and-flo, mist). The mist system con- 

 trol uses light as a parameter. Heat/ 

 shade curtains are controlled by tem- 

 perature, time, and light intensity. 

 A palletized bench system moves 

 benches into the potting room. 

 Benches can also be moved out of 

 the gable end of the house during

 space by allowing a second crop to 

 be grown inside on the ground. 

 August is "an in-between period" at 

 Cole's, but some clay-pot material— 

 caladiums, dahlias, rosebud im- 

 patiens — will still be there; poinset-

tias, pre-fmished cyclamen, and mums 

 will be beginning to fill the houses. 

 The glass house will have been in op- 

 eration nearly a year and many 

 questions about "how it will work in 

 New Hampshire" will have been be- 

 gun to be answered. ^
