| Question: | "Is there any difference in orginal cost and maintenance cost between a bent green planted with stolons and one planted with seed?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | New York |

| Answer/Response: | "It costs less to plant a bent green with seed than with stolons provided the cost of the seed of the stolons is no greater than the present prevailing market price. Even when the stolons are secured from a nursery on the golf course, their production entails some cost in the preparation and care of the nursery, to which must be added the cost of cutting the stolons, distributing them, and topdressing them when planted. As regards to maintenance costs, our observations indicate that turf production from certain kinds of bent seed, including seaside bent, does not become as thickly matted, even after several years, as the popular strains of creeping bent generally planted from stolons. The reason for this is not altogether clear. For the above reason less topdressing is required as a rule on seaside bent greens planted with seed than, for example, on greens planted with stolons of the Washington or Metropolitan strains of creeping bent." |
