Picture 09 - Salhouse Broad.

SALHOUSE BROAD. Though only thirty-five acres in extent, the natural surroundings of this Broad give it a pre-eminence over those adjoining. So many pretty nooks, back-waters, and reedy bays abound in this sylvan retreat that is difficult to assign any particular spot for the premiership of the prettiest. The trees and shrubs in summer are clothed with great beauty; the air, after a summer shower, being redolent with the perfumes of wild flowers, the pale meadow-sweet preponderating. To botanists, and hunters of the butterfly and other winged inhabitants of the air, which are very numerous hereabout, Salhouse and the adjoining Broads are veritable treasure-houses.
