The photographs were taken under cloudless conditions the
afternoon of 13 July, using a 35-mm lens, with Kodachrome 64 film, F-stop=11 and 1/125th
of second. Transparencies were scanned to 4-MB TIFF files with a Polaroid Scanner,
and the digital images opened in Adobe PhotoShop, tilted to parallel, brightness-adjusted
+35 units, contrast adjusted to +30 units, uniformly cropped, and sized to 380 pixels
width, and black plot borders added. PhotoShop files were optimized with Ulead
SmartSaver to JPEG quality level 60, no smoothing. |

Originated from Texas, this greens grass was developed by
Thomas Brothers Nursery. After the grass was planted the developer reported
that it did not appear to be the same as the grass they had developed. Whatever this
grass is or was, it is very tall, and definitely not a greens grass. These four
replicated plots were planted at University of Florida - Fort Lauderdale in May
1997. Throughout most of their evaluation they were mowed at 1/8 inch. Plots
were aerified the week of 21 June 1999 and were treated with excess rates of herbicides 29
June 1999 and again 7July 1999, thus the cumulative rates were actually 2X, 4X, 6X, 8X,
and 10X. Mowing was suspended as soon as treatments began.
