. The seeding and care of golf courses. Golf courses; Grasses. 5g3 . The Seeding and Care of Golf Courses • REDTOP r)EDTOP {Agrostis alba) is a valuable plant for the North- jtVern fairway. It remains green throughout the season. While related to the Bents, it is coarser and unfit for put- ting-greens except in the seedling stage. Redtop adapts itself well to varied conditions, resisting drouth, yet thriv- ing on wet land, and enduring extremes of temperature. The seed is cheap, ordinarily, compared with other varieties. For this reason it is economically used with Blue-grass on the fairway. Owing to its cheapness, it has been suggested that Red- top may be used for spring and fall reseeding of the greens. The theory is that while in the seedling stage this grass will be fine enough for the purpose, and that as it becomes coarser and so undesirable, it will be crowded out by the finer Bents and Fescues. In emergency, such a use of Red- top may be feasible, but it can be regarded only as a tem- porary expedient. RYE-GRASSES PI ^erennial or English Rye-grass is a very important turf plant in Great Britain. It is well suited to our dryer cli- mate, and, especially where economy is to be consid- ^^ ered, may well be made a part of the fairway mixture. '^t Being large seeded, it grows very quickly. The Italian ^^^ variety is more popular, especially in the South, where it is used to sow on top of Bermuda for winter greens. The Perennial can be used on the rough. Rye-grass « seeds are much cheaper than other varieties..
