“…He also observed the higher sugar content of the hardy varieties as compared with that of the non-hardy, but assigned nio particular significance to it. On the other hand, CHANDLER (8), anid later AKERMAIAN (3), MEYER (17), and MAXNIMOV (15), stressed the idea that soluble carbohy-drates may increase frost resistanice of plants by decreasing the precipitation of proteins.…”

“…Some were fertilized with ammonium sulphate applied at the same rate as in the field tests. The first application was made when the grass was approximately 0.5 inch high; second and third applications were made at intervals of 6 (17), ROBINSON (11), SAYRE (13), and MEYER (6).

“…A hydraulic press and press cage of the type described by MEYER (6) and a pressure of 5000 pounds per square inch were used. A standard procedure was adopted which consisted of allowing the press cage to drain for 5 minutes and driving out with air the few drops remaining in the tube.…”

IntroductionThe conditions under which turf-forming grasses on lawns and recreational fields are maintained are highly exacting. This is due chiefly to frequent and often close defoliation. On golf courses and athletic fields the situation is further aggravated by much trampling. To maintain a good sward under such adverse conditions resort is often made to liberal use of fertilizer. In order to take full advantage of the cool growing weather of late autumn and early spring, top-dressings are often made in the fall.These applications are regarded as desirable where annual weeds such as crabgrass are a pest. Under such conditions spring and summer treatments may do inore harm than good through undue stimulation of the weeds. In the judgment of many practical turf growers, however, late fall applications are detrimental because, in their opinion, they interfere with the normal "hardening off" of grass with the coming of cold weather and thus render it less resistant to the low temperatures of winter.The purpose of the work reported in this paper was to determine whether or not the above assumption held by certain growers has any basis in fact. The PLANT PHYSIOLOGYIn each season the plots were mowed at frequent intervals to maintain good lawn conditions. On account of extreme drouth, especially in 1930, infrequent mowing in midsummer sufficed. In addition to each fertilized plot there was an unfertilized plot of the same size which served as a check.Supplemental material was obtained from a new seeding of Kentucky bluegrass made in August, 1936. A part of this area was fertilized with ammonium sulphate on September 10 and October 22. Both applications were made at the same rate as in the test already described. Samples from the unfertilized and fertilized areas were gathered from time to time during the late fall.To test the relative resistance of unfertilized and fertilized Kentucky bluegrass to low temperatures a quantity of each kind was grown in gallon jars in a greenhouse in the winter of 1932-1933. The grass was grown in jars so that it could be transferred without disturbance of the roots to an artificial refrigeration room and there exposed to low temperatures. The jars were seeded at the rate of 5 pounds per 1000 sq. ft. Subirrigation was provided by means of a 0.75-inch glass tube placed at one side of the jar. The lower end rested on a layer of sand which covered the bottom of the jar. Some were fertilized with ammonium sulphate applied at the same rate as in the field tests. The first application was made when the grass was approximately 0.5 inch high; second and third applications were made at intervals of 6 and 12 weeks, respectively.
