| Question: | "We should be glad to receive your suggestions for turf grasses for extremely dry conditions. We have found that buffalo grass appears to be one of the most suitable grasses under our conditions, but we can not find that seed of it is on the market." |

| Answer/Response: | "The turf grasses of the prairie regions of Canada and the United States are buffalo grass and grama grass. Both of these are excellent for the fairways and rough on golf courses, and for lawns, but are not well adapted for putting greens. We do not know of any grasses adapted to putting greens that will thrive in the prairie regions unless they are irrigated. Seed of neither buffalo grass nor grama grass has ever been on the market and they must be propagated by transplanting, unless arrangements can be made for gathering seed in the field. Furthermore, seed of buffalo grass is usually very low in germination." |
