| Question: | "Would it in your opinion be practicable to attempt to grow all clover greens? We are advised that some very excellent greens in California have been obtained in this way. Our reading of THE BULLETIN and our advice from experts have been to discourage clover wherever possible. In spite of our treatment we have one or two greens that run very strongly to clover, and we are wondering if it would not be wise to encourage them in this direction and try for a complete clover green." |

| Answer/Response: | "For the highest type of greens white clover is not a desirable plant. However, in regions where the soils are not acid and it is difficult to combat white clover, a good many clubs get along fairly well with putting greens made up of a mixture of bluegrass, redtop, and white clover. With good treatment these make fairly satisfactory greens, and where the soils tend to be rather strongly on the alkaline side it is perhaps wise to maintain such greens. A complete green of white clover however can not be secured. For some reason white clover will not maintain itself as a pure culture." |
