New Advertisers 



During the downturn (and after 

 a long-overdue rate increase), 

 The Plantsman lost some of its 

 long-time friends. This was under- 

 standable — an ad in The Plantsman 

 may not be a top priority in rough 

 times. But although the sizes 

 changed, a lot stayed on. We never 

 said much, but we're glad you did. 



Things look better now — new 

 people are coming on board — in 

 the August/September issue — 

 Conley's Tree Farm (the second of 

 three issues), Clinton Dean (one 

 issue) and L.D. Oliver (one year). 



And in this issue. North Country 

 Organics (one issue), D.S. Cole 

 Growers, Wageman Insurance, and 

 Dramm Corporation (all one year). 



The Plantsman appreciates the 

 support — from both old friends and 

 new. We thank you and urge our 

 readers to do the same by patroniz- 

 ing the companies that advertise 

 with us. (B.P.). 



Concerning the 

 Granite State Garden 

 and Flower Show^ 



Herb Rice 



"The Flower Show is in imminent 

 danger of dying. It has not been 

 held for two years now. People 

 have to start showing some interest 

 now so we can have a show for 

 next year. We need some commit- 

 ments for display gardens and com- 

 mercial booths. Does anyone have 

 any ideas for a less expensive place 

 to hold the show? Can anyone 

 suggest any corporate sponsors who 

 might help underwrite costs? Please 

 contact any officer or board mem- 

 ber of NHLA or Herb Rice at 

 (603) 668-4191 with any ideas or 

 suggestions or offers of time and 

 talent. 



This show is extremely 

 important to our industry. We 

 shouldn't have to go to Boston 

 to go to a Flower Show." 



Herb Rice is a member of the New 

 Hampshire Laruiscape Association. 



Recycling Plastics 



The disposal of plastic film and 

 containers continues to be a major 

 concern of Green Industries. That 

 concern has been enhanced by 

 soon-to-be imposed regulations re- 

 stricting disposal of single polymer 

 plastics. As a consequence, many 

 businesses are examining recycling 

 as an option for disposal. Below is 

 a partial list of companies which 

 accept or buy recycled plastics.
