NEW HAMPSHIRE NEWS 



A State-of-the-Art 

 Expansion 



On a recently purchased twenty- 

 four acres on North Pembroke 

 Road, off 106 in Pembroke, a 

 65,000-square-foot (seven 42'x216' 

 bays) Nexus Big Sky greenhouse 

 is being constructed by Pleasant 

 View Gardens. Six-by-eight-foot 

 tempered glass panels maximize 

 light. 



The operation is automated. 

 From potting and sticking until 

 loading for delivery, material "is 

 not touched by human hands." 

 The entire floor is ebb-and-flood. 



Why is this being built? "At 

 Loudon," Henry Huntington ex- 

 plains, "we have over 30 uncon- 

 nected buildings on a hilly site. 

 We were getting tight on water. 

 We wanted to automate. When 



we looked at the figures, we saw 

 it made more sense to start over 

 on level ground with a good wa- 

 ter supply." 



The greenhouse will be in op- 

 eration in November. Separate 

 from the Loudon operation, with 

 its own production crew, its 

 product, however, will be "more 

 of the same." 



A New Name 



In May of this year. Jolly Farmer 

 Products announced the sale of 

 their bark mulch and soils divi- 

 sion, located in Poland Spring, 

 Maine. In the future. Jolly Farmer 

 Products will be focusing all of 

 their resources on their green- 

 house division in New Brunswick 

 and will no longer be active in 



the bark and soils industry. 



The new company, renamed 

 Jolly Gardener Products, Inc., is 

 continuing the manufacture of 

 softwood bark mulches and soil 

 products at the Poland Spring fa- 

 cility. Jolly Gardener will con- 

 tinue to service lawn and garden 

 centers, hardware stores, and 

 nurseries throughout the North- 

 east with the "Jolly Farmer" line 

 of bagged mulches and soils, as 

 well as supplying bulk mulch for 

 commercial and residential use. 



The new owners, Sid Malone 

 and Rusty Morrison, along with 

 an investment group led by 

 former Maine Governor John 

 McKernan, have hired a new 

 management team to work with 

 them in expanding the company's 

 market.
