Vermont Telaflora Unit will be holding their own Summer Meeting and their 

 annual Design- America Competition. 



MANY CHANGES have taken place at Jolly Farmer since the NHPGA 

 Summer Meeting was held there eight years ago. 



The operation has grown in scale: today cyclamen, poinsettias, rooted 

 cuttings, hanging plants, bedding plants, and plugs are produced under four 

 acres of double poly. In August, eight houses will be filled with pansy plugs 

 being grown for the Southern fall market. 



The greenhouse operation has continually looked for ways to increase 

 efficiency. There'll be demonstrations of Jolly Farmer's two-tiered system for 

 watering hanging baskets and the recently completed fog chambers. 



An automatic Blackmore drum seeder, a "cylinder on its side, picking up 

 seeds and sowing all in one rotation," will be in operation. Skip Blackmore, 

 its inventor, will be there to talk about it and answer questions. 



One Jolly Farmer enterprise is the manufacture and sale of bark mulch. 

 Visitors will be able to see a large industrial tub grinder — a 12-foot wide tub 

 operated by a 600 HP V8 diesel "Cat" engine — used for making bark mulch in 

 action. The tub holds up to twenty yards of material. The "rough stuff' goes 

 in; the bark mulch comes out. 



All this and more. Preregistration: $23; or $28 at the door. The door pri:e 

 is a weekend for two at the Snowy Owl Inn in Waterville X'alley.
