The Largest Tree in the World 
This giant Sequoia, growing in the Mariposa Grove, in the 
Yosemite National Park, is known as the “Grizzly Giant.” It is 
34 feet in diameter and 225 feet high. Ii is estimated to contain more 
than one million feet of lamber. The first limb is 100 feet from 
the ground, and 6 feet in diameter. Doubtless the tree or- 
iginally had limbs all the way from the ground, but 
the lower ones have died in the course of the 
ages that mark the life of this exrtraor- 
dinary tree. Observe the inan 
standing near the tree, by 
way of contrast.
