The white blossoming shrubs were grouped to stand out against the dark masses of the encircling trees; but black and white are not the only shades in the moonlight garden, there is also the red flower of fire. Beautiful colour schemes carried out in lights such as those under the waterfalls at Pinjor in their red and green alcoves, form quite a feature qf Indian garden-craft. And how pretty these are when lighted can be realised even from their rather clumsy reproduction in the coloured waterfalls which face the entrance to the Shepherds Bush 'White City.' The parterres and platforms also are often outlined with tiny earthen lamps; on festival occasions the trees are hung with lights; but the fireflies, which are held to be under the special influence of the moon, are considered the prettiest of evening decorations.
