Large Numbers

We studied the microflora of Quebec sphagnum peat moss samples taken from five different locations in a peat moss processing plant: soil, drying stacks, sedimented dust (walls and floor), and in bagged peat moss. Large numbers of microorganisms were found; the predominant ones were of the genus Monocillium (up to 112 × 106 colonies/g of dry peat) and the genus Penicillium (320 × 104 colonies/g dry weight). These moulds were more abundant in the processed peat moss than in the peat soil (e.g., Monocillium: soil, 138 × 103; processed peat, 112 × 106). Aspergillus spp. were absent in all five sample sites. We conclude that Quebec peat moss contains large quantities of microorganisms and that moulds become more concentrated during the processing of the peat from the soil to the final product.

Better Than

Since 1974, numerous species and cultivars of evergreen azaleas have been evaluated for hardiness and adaptability to south central Kansas (zone 6). Selections included Kurumes, Gable hybrids, Shammarello hybrids and others in various amended beds and in several landscape exposures. Hardiest cultivars include `Boudoir', `Caroline Gable', `Herbert', `Karens', `Pride's Pink', `Purple Splendor', and `Snowball' which flowered following -18F (-28C). Moderately hardy were `Elsie Lee', `Holland', `Girard Roberta' and `James Gable'. Best hardiness was found in cultivars and hybrids with Rhododendron kaempferi, and R. yedoense var. poukhanense parentage. Plants in soil amended with sphagnum peat moss or peat plus sulfur were superior to those in soil containing cotton burrs. Winter shade proved valuable in providing the best landscape site and northeast was generally better than a northwest exposure.
