Abstract
AN attempt is here made to condense modern British greenkeeping practice, including the treatment of bowling greens, football fields, cricket grounds, tennis courts and golf courses, into a comparatively slim volume. Much of the work is sound ; but the text suffers from the liberal use of the superlative and from regrettably frequent inaccuracies and dogmatic statements which would not pass unquestioned by either greenkeeper or research worker. Despite the limited space, there is also much repetition.
