| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "There are only minor revisions of this pioneering book. In the introduction Barron stated:
THE PERFECT LAWN IN AN IDEAL SETTING
Forming the foreground of some nature picture, the lawn fulfils its greatest mission, and is the greatest achievement of the landscape gardeners art. The smooth velvety greensward is a harmonious accent in the general colour scheme, unifying the nearby trees and shrubbery with the distant view. Should we not, therefore, make it with solicitous care?" p. 157 |
