REDWOOD TREES 357

Photograph by W. A. Fishbaugh PROPINQUITY MAKES AFFINITIES EVEN OF TREES These Redwood trees have grown together at the top, and this photograph, which was taken from the ground with the camera pointed directly skyward, is proof that Nature is a grafter when opportunity oSers, as the joining of this group of great trees could not have been more skilfully wrought even By an expert hand. The trees are known as the Bear's Nest, a group of giant Redwoods which grew so closely to each other that their amalgamation was inevitable. They are on the Ah Pah tract, a great timbered park in Northern California, owned by Mr. Charles Willis Ward. Surrounding them are innumerable Red- woods of immense size that would yield nearly half a million feet of lumber to the acre. Another view of the Bear's Nest group, showing how it looks nearer earth, appears on the opposite page.
