Clumps
This term is applied to groups of two or more trees, shrubs, or other plants, arranged to form an isolated mass. It may extend to almost endless combinations in landscape gardening, from a conspicuous group of fine trees in a park to one of small shrubs on a lawn. In selecting a position, or planting a Clump of any description, attention should be given to surrounding conditions, and forethought exercised as to its appearance when fully developed. This especially applies to planting Clumps of permanent trees. Rhododendrons are probably most largely grown as Clumps on lawns; but many other shrubs are very useful and attractive, if arranged in this way. Overcrowding should, in all cases, be avoided.
