| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "An interesting, very rare handbook on the establishment and culture of turfgrasses in England. The status of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) in English turfgrasses in 1931 was summarized as follows: It is not uncommon to find an old lawn largely, if not entirely, composed of Annual Meadow Grass. With considerable care and attention it is possible to keep such turf satisfactory, although it may be rather soft, and possess a peculiar tinge at certain seasons. Turf composed of Annual Meadow Grass, however, is extremely sensitive to the weather, and is very liable to die off in patches following periods of drought or severe cold. While recovery may be comparatively rapid, the bare spots afford an opportunity for weeds to become established. Close cutting will not destroy Annual Meadow Grass; in point of fact, it flourishes under such treatment. The only remedy we know is hand weeding, and those who value a verdant lawn will do well in taking some trouble to remove by hand any specimens which may become established. Unfortunately, the presence of this grass is not always noticed, and owing to the freedom with which seed is produced it quickly becomes intermixed with the turf, and is then very difficult to deal with." p. 352 |
