| Question: | "Until last winter we have had some excellent patches of Poa trivialis on our greens, well matted and so thick that dandelions could not compete with the grass. Last winter, however, these patches were killed out by the extreme cold, while our bent grass came through the winter in fine shape. We are wondering if it would not be advisable to seed Poa trivialis and bent grass in mixture." |

| Answer/Response: | "There is nothing in our experience here in the East which indicates that a mixture of Poa trivialis and bent grass is better than either one alone. They are somewhat different in quality, and no cases occur in the East where it has been found desirable to mix the two. Poa trivialis is less winterhardy than are the bent grasses. On the other hand, the former succeeds better on soils which are not acid than does bent grass. Our recommendation would, therefore, be that you endeavor to overcome the alkaline tendency of your soils so as to get the best results possible with the bent grasses." |
