| Question: | "We have been informed that the California golf courses are having considerable success in the planting of seaside bent grass on their greens. Do you think it would be worth our while to make an experiment with this grass in Georgia?" |

| Source of Question: | Georgia |

| Answer/Response: | "While we have had very little experience with seaside bent in the southeastern states, judging from the results obtained with closely related grasses we doubt seaside bent would survive your summers satisfactorily. One of the puzzling phenomena connected with most grasses growing in temperate climates is that every one of them has a fairly definite southern limit. In the East the southern limit of bent is about the northern limit of the Cotton Belt. Curiously enough, in the drier half of the United States the bents succeed farther south than they do in the eastern part of the country. There are some very excellent seaside bent greens in Southern California, where the summer temperatures are higher than in Georgia, but the humidity conditions are entirely different. As yet we have no record of any one having been successful in making a permanent putting green of bent as far south as Georgia. While we do not care to say that it can't be grown, the chances of success are very small." |
