| Question: | "Our course is constructed on a sand-fill over a salt meadow. On one part we are bothered with salt sweating through the soil. Do you know of a grass suitable for golf that will grow under salty conditions?" |

| Answer/Response: | "On parts of the Massachusetts coast there is a native strain of seaside bent which makes an excellent turf and withstands the conditions you describe. This bent can be very readily established by the vegetative method, although no seed of it is available. It is possible also that the strain of seaside bent, of which seed is harvested in Oregon, would withstand the same conditions; but it would be well first to test this strain on a small scale before attempting an extensive planting." |
