| Quotable quotes | "Turf failures should never be charged against the grass, if the variety is a real turf grass. Man selects the environment, plants the seed he desires, feeds the grass as he wishes, and abuses it as the occasion demands. It appears, therefore, that man alone is responsible for a large majority of turf failures." p. 1
"To repeat, the friability of the top-soil is more important than the fertility." p. 3 |
