THE STREET OF THE CHRISTMAS TREES
During the last week of each year, thou-
sands of persons journey from all parts of CF
Southern California to view the impressive
spectacle provided by the illumination of
Altadena's mile-long avenue of deodars, popu-
larly known as "The Street of the Christmas Ple
Trees".
The trees are majestic Himalayan cedars! 02:

deodar is famed in song and story, its name-
signifying "Tree of God.
There are about two hundred trees that
were planted in 1885. For almost a mile they
rear their proud heads on both sides of Santa
Rosa Avenue in Altadena, a beautiful resi-
dential suburb immediately adjoining Pasa-
dena, at the base of the lofty Sierra Madres,
overlooking city and valley. This was once
the main driveway on the 900 acre ranch of
Col. F. J. Woodbury, a pioneer resident.
Beautiful enough at any time, the deodars
take on their greatest grandeur between
Christmas eve and New Year's night when
they glow with the brilliance of the thousands
of colored electric lights.
The custom of lighting these trees was
started in 1920 and sponsored by the Kiwanis
Club of Pasadena and has been carried out
each year since.
