A REDWOOD TREE for CHRISTMAS! 
for yourself — for an outstanding GIFT 
Almost everyone agrees that the Redwood or Sequoia is the most beauti- 
ful and wonderful tree on earth. Anyone who has walked in the cool deep- 
shaded aisles of a Redwood forest, treading the springy mattress of fallen 
brown leaves between gigantic trees that seem to touch the clouds—trees 
that were already huge when the Christmas shepherds saw the Star in 
the East—feels it to be one of the greatest thrills ever experienced. 
Can YOU grow one of these majestic Redwoods, a tree that might live 
for 25 or even 50 generations of your descendants, to be a living monument 
to you, centuries after man-made monuments are gone and forgotten. Or, 
is it true that these greatest of living things cannot be grown except in 
California? 
Many in East U. $. — Hundreds in Foreign Lands 
The following list of California Sequoias—of both species—has 
been gathered by spare-time correspondence in less than two years. 
The list grows constantly, as re plant to anyone who 
sends us a_good photo and data of any Sequoia outside of Cali- 
fornia, which we do not already have. (Gift of seeds, outside U.S.) 
Sierra Redwood — Sequoia Gigantea 
Philadelphia has 5, in city and suburbs—oldest 96 years. In Pa., Lan- 
caster and Harrisburg have one each. One at Bristol, R. I., about 60 years. 
One on Long Island about 40 years old. One at Hickory, N. C. One at 
Oklahoma University. One at the national capital in Washington, D. C. 
About another dozen of older Sequoias, we are pursuing to verify. Of 
younger trees, the list is over 100 in eastern and southern states. 
Coast Redwood — Sequoia Sempervirens 
S. Carolina has six, four of them over 100 years—at Aiken, Mt. Carmel, 
Summerville, Charleston, Darlinqton and Abbeville. Norfolk, Va., has 
one over 100 years, and others from 10 to 20 years old. One in Wash- 
ington, D. C., one in Wilmington, one in N. Jersey, three in Maryland. 
Young Redwoods are scattered from five in Greenwich, Conn., to six in 
Roanoke, Va.—-a number in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and even one 
in Arizona.

Foreign Lands Far Surpass the East U. S. 
Of both species, 500 trees is a conservative estimate—Spain leads with 
a grove of Coast Hedwoods about 150 years old, and S. Africa has two 
groves—all irrigated, in hot country. Many 100 ft. S. giganteas grow 
along the Rhine, and one near the cold Baltic. Hundreds qrow in Eng- 
land, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, 
Guatemala, Brazil.
