| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "An interesting handbook on the construction, establishment, and culture of turfgrass areas, with emphasis on conditions in England. The basics are addressed within a how-to approach. Presented in the back are chapters on turfgrass culture for sports fields, cricket grounds, bowling greens, tennis courts, and lawns. This revised edition is the seventeenth and last in a long series published by Sutton & Sons of Reading that was first published in 1892. It is quite an accomplishment." p. 354 |
