Turf for sports use / by R.I. Hamilton, Fred Dimmock, S.E. Clarke.: A12-2/148-1931E-PDF

"In 1925 the work of the Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, was enlarged to include tests of grasses and methods of producing and maintaining fine turf for sports use. A collection of seed and living plant material was made and a very extensive nursery started of all grasses suitable or thought to be suitable for fine turf production. An area was prepared for experimental greens which were established and have since been maintained except that undesirable plantings have been replaced by other material for test. From the nursery, stolons of creeping bent have been supplied, free of charge, to all clubs or individuals requesting such material for nursery use. Information has been made available on fine turf production and is now submitted in bulletin form for the guidance of those interested in the production of fine turf for sports use"-p. [3].
