Abstract: Provided herein is relatively thick ionomeric sheeting that can be taken up into a roll and supplied in continuous form. Also provided herein are methods of manufacturing rolls of relatively thick, continuous ionomeric sheeting. Further provided herein are methods of producing glass laminates, wherein the relatively thick ionomeric sheeting is not conditioned to reduce curvature prior to stacking the pre-press assembly. These continuous rolls eliminate costly cutting and stacking steps in ionomeric sheeting that is intended for use as interlayers in laminated structures, for example safety glass and photovoltaic cells.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla named ‘Dancing Butterflies Two’ that is characterized by its remontant (re-blooming) habit, blooming from May until frost, its lacecap type inflorescences with single sterile flowers surrounding a mass of fertile flowers, its flowers that are light pink in color in color when grown with a soil PH of 7 or above, its sterile flowers with sepals that have a white margin on the sepals, and its cutting rooting rate that is at least 95%.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) named ‘BC7.14’ originated as a controlled cross between varieties. The cultivar ‘BC7.14’ can be blue or red depending on the acidity of the soil and the presence of aluminum. The variety ‘BC7.14’ has relatively compact, attractive inflorescences with relatively small sepalous florets, distinct sepal pigmentation and good commercial characteristics. When grown in the presence of aluminum, the upperside of the sepals is primarily R.H.S. 94 A (violet-blue group) and 86 B (violet group), the underside of the sepals is R.H.S. 93 D (violet-blue group) and 86 C violet group).
