I These greens were first sown with Carters Tested Grass Seeds in Septem- ber, 1913. Within eight months they were in splendid condition for play, although H. Grind, SU the course was not officially opened until September, 1914. The turf is real golfing turf, thick, matted and clean. When the second nine holes are completed Worcester will have one of the foremost championship courses. Layout, turf and natural features are not surpassed. Following Mayfield at Cleveland, the Country Club of Detroit, and Toronto Golf Club, where Carters Tested Seeds were used exclusively, this achievement at Worcester is added evidence of the superiority of Carters System of Turf Pro- duction.

Revell's entertaining book on golf—Pro and Con of Golf—will be ul great interest to many golfers who long have mar- velled over the proficiency of Mr. Revcll at the game, considering his close attention to big business and semi-public matters and Ins lack ol time to play the game with any regularity. "IU- seems to have found great pleasure, and perhaps recreation, especially since returning from Europe, in employing part of his time preparing material for the golf book. Much good material—quotations — from the viewpoint of others has been gathered. This, with his own writings, thoughts, suggestions, experiences, and incidents of what might be interesting, etc., permits a wide range of subjects. There can be no doubt that even many serious-minded adherents of the game will be able to get some profit from its perusal, because, along with the play, the more one absorbs on the subject of golf, the better player one becomes."
