CLUMPS, when close, are sometimes 

 called Thickets, and, when open, Groups 

 of Trees. They differ only in extent 

 from a wood, if they are close, or from a 

 grove, if they are open. They are small 

 woods and small groves, governed hy the 

 same principles as the larger, aftei 

 allowances made for their dimensions. 



But, hesldes the properties they may have 

 in common with woods, or with groves, 

 they have others peculiar to themselves. 

 They are either independent or relative. 

 When independent, their beauty, as single 

 objects, is solely to be attended to ; when 

 relative, the beauty of the individuals 

 must be sacrificed to the effect of the 

 whole, which is the greater consideration. 

 The least clump that can be is of two 

 trees ; and the best effect they can have 

 is, that their heads, united, should ap- 

 pear one large tree. Two, therefore, of 

 different species, or seven or eight of 

 such shapes as do not easily join, can 

 hardly be a beautiful group, especially 

 if it have a tendency to a circular form. 



A peculiarity of clumps is the facility 

 with which they admit a mixture of trees 

 and of shrubs, of wood and of grove ; in 

 sthort, of every species of plantation. 

 None are more beautiful than those 

 which are so composed. Such composi- 

 tions are, however, more proper in com- 

 pact than in straggling clumps ; they are 

 most agreeable when they form one mass. 

 If the transitions from very lofty to very 

 humble growths, from thicket to open 

 plantations, be frequent and sudden, the 

 disorder is more suited to rude than to 

 elegant scenes. 



The occasions on which independent 

 clumps may be applied are many. They 

 are often desirable as beautiful objects 

 in themselves ; they are sometimes ne- 

 cessary to break an extent of lawn, or a 

 continued line, whether of ground, or of 

 plantation ; but, on all occasions, a jeal- 

 ousy of art constantly attends them, 

 which irregularity in their figure will 

 not always alone remove. Though ele- 

 vations show them to advantage, yet a 

 bullock evidently thrown up on purpose 

 :o be crowned with a clump is artficial 

 to a degree of disgust. Some of the trees 

 should, therefore, be planted on the sides, 

 ;o take off that appearance. The same 

 expedient may be applied to clumps 

 placed on the brow of a hill, to interrupt 

 "ts sameness : they will have less osten- 

 ;ation of design if they are, in part, car- 

 ried down either declivity. 



A line of clumps, if the intervals be 

 closed by others beyond them, has the 

 appearance of a wood, or of a grove ; and, 

 n one respect, the semblance has an ad- 

 antage over the reality in different 

 )oints of view. The relations between 

 he clumps are changed ; and a variety of
