suggested by the red sandstone buildings inlaid with white marble
which are the glory of Delhi and Agra. It is not a sort of imitation
calculated to deceive any one, however, but clearly a scheme of painted
decoration emulating the effect of the solid materials mentioned. The
city has, owing to this treatment, a very distinctive scenic aspect
of its own, and is very striking, the brilliant and varied pattern of
vivid colour in the costume of the natives in the bazaars, with this
roseate background, producing quite a unique effect. One has, however,
after a time an impression of unreality and unsubstantiality, as of
stage scenery which will presently be shifted. The Maharajah of Jaipur
has the reputation of being very advanced and modern in his ideas.
He has at anyrate set up gasworks in his city, which also possesses
a large public garden laid out in the European manner, and is both
horticultural and zoological, and contains a museum and a bronze statue
of Lord Mayo.

It seems rather a mistake, in a climate like that of India, to lay
out grounds with broad serpentine paths and drives unshaded by trees,
and vast lawns which can only be kept up with a pretence of greenness
by constant and laborious watering. It is another of the mistaken
foreign importations. The Eastern type of garden, on the other hand,
is quite appropriate and adapted to the necessities of the climate.
Its characteristics are narrow, straight paths between closely planted
groves of trees, acacias, plantains, palms, and fruit trees, and varied
with tanks and fountains, and cool marble pavilions, the whole enclosed
in a protecting wall like an earthly paradise.
