| Question: | "Would bulbous bluegrass be worth sowing on Bermuda greens in this locality for use as a winter putting turf? We understand it is very satisfactory for this purpose in Arizona, beginning to grow in the fall when the Bermuda grass becomes dormant. It is rather expensive, costing about 65 cents a pound." |

| Answer/Response: | "We have no information as to what success might be expected from bulbous bluegrass (Poa bulbosa) when sown on Bermuda greens in your locality. Its value varies for this purpose with climate. At Washington, D. C., it is not entirely satisfactory, as it does not become green soon enough in the fall after frost attacks the Bermuda grass. In Florida also it is not entirely satisfactory, as the dormant bulbs of the bluegrass seem to be injured to some extent by the summer heat, since the bluegrass does not revive in the winter sufficiently to make a satisfactory turf. We understand, however, that south of Richmond, through the piedmont section, satisfactory results are obtained, the bulbous bluegrass returning when the Bermuda grass goes out with the frost, and disappearing as the Bermuda resumes growth in the spring. The use of bulbous bluegrass in your locality would therefore be an experiment, but might be worth trying on a small scale." |
