In the earlier planting upon the park, some of the young stock 

 "was massed more closely than was intended for permanent growth, 

 partly to give more immediate effect, and partly for shelter. The 

 surplus plants have thriven quite as well as they would have done 

 in nursery rows, while the temporary objects have been attained. 

 During the past season we have drawn considerably upon these older 

 plantations, thinning out tree and shrubs as required. This work 

 has been done successfully in midsummer, as well as in the usual 

 planting seasons.
