The NHPGA Twilight 

 Meeting... 



at Demers Nursery & Garden Cen- 

 ter in Manchester on June 14 was 

 filled — with information and people 

 and a lot of festivity. Fifty people — 

 from all over, some from long dis- 

 tances — toured the facility, asking 

 lots of questions, then stayed on for 

 the barbecue — hamburgers, hot dogs, 

 salads, desserts The party ended 

 around 10:30 



The NHPGA thanks Bob for the 

 tour, Gene, Ned, and Mike for man- 

 ning the barbecue grills, Diane, 

 Suzanne, and |ackie for creating all 

 the desserts, and Mr. and Mrs 

 Demers, Sr., for the fine hospitality. 

 The evening was much appreciated.

 in New Hampshire accounted for 21.8% 

 of the total cash receipts. Only the dairy 

 industry (milk) ranked higher with 

 26.7%. By the year 2000, the greenhouse/ 

 nursery industry will be the leading agri- 

 cultural sector in total cash sales.

^ If you weren't proud of the trees 

 ^ %{? on your lot last year, maybe it's 

 time to come to Conley Farm 



Quality. All trees are basal pruned the third year in the field. They have clean handles 

 and full skirts at harvest time. The freshness of our trees after harvest is insured 

 by a custom designed shaded storage area. And, since we only sell trees grown on 

 our farm, what you see is what you get. No surprises. 



Service. Our convenient location, an elevator loading system, and roads that 

 are accessible for any size truck in any weather make for on time pick up and 

 delivery. Reliable trucking can be airanged.
