ummer Meeting 



Ahis year's NHPCA Summer Meet- 

 ing will be held on Friday. August 4, 

 at Pleasant View Gardens in Pittsfield 

 It's earlier this year and not on 

 the traditional Wednesday because it's 

 being held in conjunction with the PPGA's 

 Sixth Annual Geranium SIG (Special In- 

 terest Group! Seminar, also being held 

 at Pleasant View (August 4-6) and repre- 

 sentatives from some of the country's 

 leading geranium breeders will give vari- 

 ety presentations at the NHPGA meeting. It's ex- 

 pected that some SIG members will be at the 

 NHPGA meeting and that some of New Hamp- 

 shire's growers will take advantage of the fact that 

 the PPGA seminar is being held in our state (last 

 year it was in Seattle) and attend some of its week- 

 end sessions. 



One obvious new aspect of Pleasant View will be 



trial/display gardens filled with New Guineas, geraniums 



and Proven Winners, but many other changes have 



taken place since the NHPGA last met there and 



tours will be given. 



Other aspects of the meeting will be more familiar: 

 the tailgate trade show, the all-you-can-eat barbecue 

 (this year Perillo's is offering Country Style Ribs, 

 Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs, and sausage along with salads, 

 corn-on-the-cob, etc.), the auction (Peter Callioras as auc- 

 tioneer; proceeds benefiting the scholarship fundi. 

 And door prizes — the main prize being a balloon 

 ride for two. 



Cost is $25 for preregistrations; $30 for walk-ins. 

 Details and registration forms will be forthcoming. 

 For more: Henry Huntington at 603-435-8361 or Chris 

 Robarge at 603-862-1074. 



It's shaping up to be a full, festive, informative 

 day. See you there.
