| The Sequoias of Santa Cruz - Sequoia sempervirens |
"These magnificent trees, old when our civilization was young, and found only in California, are part of the wonderful redwood belt of the Coast Range. Their giant brothers of the High Sierra wear winter robes of snow, but the sequoias of the Santa Cruz Mountains, easily accessible by train, reign in a realm of perpetual verdure and their cathedral aisles are fern-bordered the year round."
