[CT 4/29/15] Added this excerpt from Downing (1849) since it was referenced in the History section: "In Picturesque plantations everything depends on intricacy and irregularity, and grouping, therefore, must often be done in the most irregular manner— rarely, if ever, with single specimens, as every object should seem to connect itself with something else; but most frequently there should be irregular groups, occasionally running into thickets, and always more or less touching each other; trusting to after time for any thinning, should it be necessary. Fig. 22 may. . .give an idea of picturesque grouping. . . ."
Nice, thanks. Is there an image that relates to the "Fig. 22" reference? [BZ 4/29/15]
