| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "An early, pioneering bulletin by two leading soil scientists that addresses in some detail the soil factors involved in the establishment and culture of lawns in United States, with special emphasis on parklands and similar large tracts of land for public use. It is a very rare pioneering booklet on the soils dimensions of lawn construction and culture written from a reasonable base in soil science. The role of the civic art movement in expanded use of lawns in public areas is noted as follows:
The widespread movement of civic art to improve and beautify cities and towns by park and art commissions, civic associations, and individuals naturally creates a demand for information concerning lawns, their improvement, soil requirements, fertilization, maintenance, soil suited for filling-in or top dressing, and similar questions. It is to supply this general demand for soil information regarding lawns that the present bulletin is designed." p. 332 |
