APPROPRIATE BRIDGES 



Where a deep and narrow stream is subject to 

 swift flow and dash of water after heavy storms 

 it will be wise to have the bridge steeply arched, thus 

 giving additional strength and raising it above the 

 surging waters. Its ornamental value is also in- 

 creased as the high arch is itself highly decorative. 

 The stone foundation walls supporting the arched 

 structure and the loose rocks outlining the banks and 

 protecting them from the wash of water add to the 

 artistic affect, so that, as in many other phases of 

 garden work, the necessary overcoming of obstacles 

 results in an added picturesqueness.
