Much coarser growing grasses can be ad- 

 mitted here than are desirable for the put- 

 ting green. The grass will not be cut so 

 frequently and there is no objection to a 

 certain amount of coarse vigorous growth. 

 Cheaper grasses can be used in quantity.

Sandy soils are usually dry without much 

 bottom, and to establish a lawn requires 

 quickly growing binding grasses which will 

 withstand drought. If the sand is acid Ken- 

 tucky blue grass cannot be co'unted upon 

 to succeed unless that condition can be cor- 

 rected by dressings of lime.
