The question of the park was different. The old English engravings usually depict walled gardens surrounded by a large, and more or less wild, deer-park, through which ran avenues extending the main lines of the garden. The Mughals, on the other hand, had no need of outer enclosures for preserving game while the primeval forests and jungles still clothed the hillsides, so that their great chenar and mango avenues were generally placed within the garden walls. The space which these walls enclosed was a large one, 600 yards by 400 yards being a very usual size, while many of the Mughal baghs were on a much bigger scale than this. In these large baghs the actual flower garden may be said to be confined to the lines of the principal canals and the squares which bordered on them, the sides of the garden being treated more like a park and planted with large avenues of trees under which tents could be pitched.
