Evaluation of Cool-Season Turfgrasses Alone and In Mixtures¹

Synopsis: A mixture of 75% Merion Kentucky blue-grass with 25% red fescue and mixtures of common Kentucky bluegrass with red fescue produced a higher quality turf in 1958 than either of the bluegrasses seeded alone. Merion seeded alone was superior to mixtures of Merion-common and Merion-red fescue the first 4 years, 1954–57, after which this variety was seriously injured by stripe smut.
