| Question: | "What seed would be best for our winter greens? Would October 15 be about the right time to sow the winter greens?" |

| Source of Question: | Louisiana |

| Answer/Response: | "We would suggest that you use redtop alone, or Italian rye grass alone, or redtop and Kentucky bluegrass mixed. We do not know whether you have any brown-patch in winter, but we have seen it pretty bad at New Orleans. Redtop and Italian rye are both susceptible to brown-patch, whereas Kentucky bluegrass is perfectly resistant. White clover is likewise absolutely resistant to brown-patch, and if you care you could use that. The only objection to Kentucky bluegrass is that it is slower to become established than either Italian rye grass or redtop. We should say you are perfectly safe in seeding for a winter green any time beginning the first of October. It would be very interesting if you would try one green in redtop, one in Italian rye grass, and one in Kentucky bluegrass, so that you could get an actual comparison of them. You would need to seed your redtop at the rate of about 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet, Italian rye at 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet, and Kentucky bluegrass at 8 pounds per 1,000 square feet." |
