take trees, both of the larger and fmaller 

 growths, from the plantation itfelf, (after 

 they are grown ftrohg enough to refill; 

 animals) and to tranfplant them on the 

 outfide of the fence ; where a ftiff formal 

 outline is apt to remain, even when the 

 fence itfelf has been taken away. As 

 thefe plants would be to be carried fo fhort 

 a way, though large, they might be re- 

 moved with fafety ; and would want no 

 fence, but merely to be flaked till they 

 had taken root. Their effect would alfo 

 be immediate; they would at once break, 

 vary, and foften the hard line of the clump 

 by partially concealing it, which trees 

 alone would not effect ; but by fuch a mix- 

 ture of thorns, hollies, &c. with foreft 

 trees, the raoft painter-like groups and 

 thickets might be formed. 



This feems to me the true ufe of plant- 

 ing trees and bufhes detached from the 

 larger mafles ; and thus much it may be 



fufficient
