| Question: | "We planted two greens with creeping bent stolons in October, but the weather has not been favorable for growth since that time and as a consequence the grass has made little progress. Some new growth of young grass is in evidence, however, and we are wondering whether it is advisable to furnish it a winter protection in the way of a covering of straw or leaves." |

| Answer/Response: | "We doubt very much that any winter injury will occur to the young grass you have on your putting greens. A covering of straw or leaves should do no harm, however, provided it is removed promptly in late winter or early spring when growing conditions become favorable. The covering should be held in place by branches strewn over it, else it is likely to be blown away." |
