| Question: | "To assist our club in reaching a decision as to the best type of grass for the greens, I am writing to find out what information and advice you can give me in respect to the three different types that are under consideration. The grasses in question are New Brunswick bent, Washington bent, and Metropolitan bent." |

| Answer/Response: | "New Brunsiwck bent is a seaside creeping bent, seed of which is produced in New Brunswick. Washington and Metropolitan bents are both creeping bents and are propagated by stolons. Any of these three grasses should give you satisfactory turf for putting greens. The seaside bent is much more susceptible to snowmold than most of the other common bents used for putting green turf. The Washington and Metropolitan bents, although they are subject to attacks of snowmold fungus under certain conditions, are very resistant to the disease and ordinarily are not seriously damaged by it. Since you are in a region where the snowmold disease may be very troublesome it would perhaps be wise for you to use some grass other than the New Brunswick bent. Either the Washington or the Metropolitan would be satisfactory. The Washington is a little finer than the Metropolitan bent but it has the objection that it becomes discolored during cool weather. This discoloration, however, does not affect its putting qualities." |
