Abstract
IT is gratifying to learn that the British Board of Greenkeeping Research will be enabled to maintain its Research Station at St. Ives, Bingley, Yorks, for a further period of five years. Vol. 10, No. 3 of the Board's Journal contains a review by the Director of the past four and a half year's work at the Station. There is also a continuation of the series of articles by Mr. I. G. Lewis, describing common grasses. Redtop (Agrpstis stolonifera, L., var. gigantea, Koch) and velvet bent (A. canina) are considered in the present volume. The former is somewhat coarse for fine lawns, but the latter is the queen of putting green grasses. Mr. Arthur Hill describes his experiments on lawns at Craibstone, whilst the Director of the Bingley Station, Mr. R. B. Dawson, continues his articles on “Common Weeds of Turf”. Dr. T. W. Evans also contributes a paper on phosphatic fertilisers in relation to greenkeeping, and Mr. R. Gordon, of Prestwick Golf Club, writes on “A Golf Course under Seaside Conditions”.
