TWILIGHT MEETING 



THE FIRST NHPGA TWILIGHT MEETING OF 1996 



Tuesday, April 30, at 4 PM, 



at Qhakarian Farm Greenhouses, 



114 Island Pond Road, Derry, New Hampsfiire 



TIhe first New Hampshire Plant Growers' Association Twilight Meeting 

 of the new year will be held April 30 at Chakarian Farm Green- 

 houses in Derry. Fairly new — the wholesale/retail greenhouse operation 

 has been there only four years — and maybe less well-known than others 

 of comparative size, Chakarian has been expanding rapidly. By 

 April, there will be nine houses — three single, two three-bay gutter- 

 connected — and a major commitment to trough irrigation benching. 

 Other highlights include a Bouldin-Lawson potting machine, 

 Benchmaster display systems, and a unique drip-irrigation system for 

 field mums. 



There will be a tour and refreshments (which will include, among 

 other exotics, shish kebab prepared using Bills own special recipe). 



It's a chance to see friends and fellow growers as well as to visit a 

 new and expanding operation that's incorporating some of best of re- 

 cent technology. 



The meeting begins at four; for details, contact either Ken Gosselin or 

 Bill Chakarian at 603-432-Q103. 



(Directions: Take Ex/( 4 from 1-93; take 102 toward Derry, then a right on Route 

 28; at crossroads, go straight [between a flea market on your left, Clam Haven on 

 your right); after 2 1/4 miles, Chaftarian Farm is on your left.)
