Text Appearing Before Image:
ays when redwoods grew like grain on Californias hills. The Muir Woods National Monument contains three hundred acres. In-terspersed with the superb Redwood, the Sequoia sempervirens, sister to theGiant Sequoia of the Sierra, are many fine specimens of Douglas fir, Madrona,California Bay, and Mountain Oak. The forest blends into the sunoundingwooded country. It is essentially typical of the redwood growth, with a richstream-watered bottom carpeted with ferns, violets, oxalis, and azalea. Many of the redwoods are magnificent specimens and some have extraor-dinary size. Cathedral Grove, and Bohemian Grove, where the famous revelsof the Bohemian club were held before the club purchased its own permanentgrove, are unexcelled in luxuriant beauty. This splendid area of forest primeval was named by its donors, Mr. andMrs. WilHam Kent, in honor of the celebrated naturalist of the Sierra, JohnMuir. It is so near San Francisco that thousands are able to enjoy its cathedralaisles of noble trees.
