Question: | "We are sending you a sample of seed mixture that has been recommended for winter greens in this section of the country. We should be glad to know what this mixture consists of and its suitability for the purpose." |
Source of Question: | Florida |
Answer/Response: | "The sample you send is largely perennial rye-grass, containing also some red fescue and some redtop. We would not advise you to buy this mixture, nor any other mixture for that matter. Ordinarily you will get better seeds and at a less price by buying them pure, and mixing them yourself if desired. For temporary winter greens red fescue is worthless. Italian rye-grass and redtop are both commonly used, often in mixture, for winter greens, but we are inclined to regard a mixture of the two as undesirable, as the rye-grass grows much more rapidly than the redtop. Both of these grasses moreover are injured by brown-patch in Florida, and for that reason bluegrass and white clover are preferable, as they are immune to brown-patch. There is an objection to bluegrass and white clover, however, in that they are quite slow in getting started, necessitating planting them several weeks earlier than the rye-grasses and redtop. All in all we would advise you to plant either Italian rye-grass or redtop, but neither in mixture with the other." |
