| Question: | "Will you kindly advise us what is the best way to handle the dandelion problem?" |

| Source of Question: | Wisconsin |

| Answer/Response: | "Perhaps the best method of handling dandelions on putting greens is to impregnate the crown of the plant with sulfuric acid. This is done with an ice pick. Dip the point of the pick in the acid and stick it into the crown of the plant. This kills the plant, and if done carefully will do no injury to the grass. The acid should be carried in a small, flat-bottom bottle, securely held in its place in a wooden box. If the bottle is tipped over, any acid that is spilt will kill the grass it touches; it will also eat through clothing or take the skin off the hands of the workmen if great care is not used." |
