Still ther-e are quite a few, e-ivcially strangers in the valley, or trjri.:t$. wh wonder about the little sitrub wivh the attrac tive white berries seen growing at scatttteri intervals along tlie -J highways" and by-roads. It is CWimon Snowberry, or Wax rierrye. o There are three species of Snowiperry growing in our area. qOop. the rourid-leavf d Snow ryrry. grows rnly at very high O aitfodes. Creeping Snowberry, another species, grows at lower ' levels but is seldom found down tri tlie valley. It js a low. sprawl ing., shxilb hil the other two sneciesc are upright.

In the spring mid early nimmcr its g?ly holiday grab is strikingly at tractive even to the uncritical eyS.

The smalf pink bell-shaped flowers grow in clusters in the axils of the leaves and at the er3 St the branches. They are quite ooly inside. Barries in Outer In lae summer and all through the fall the pretty, little flow ers are replaced by usually tight-packed clusters of the snow wbte or yellowish-tinted berries ai are, if not more attractive, at least more conspicuous than tf?e flowers that preceded tliem. We may see a dumber of other flowers that somewhat resemble those of the snowberry, but there is nocrtttfer plant in the area that proluces fruit that is com patible to iu tompact clusters of white berries. Snowberry belongs . to the lkoneysi!kle family. Its scientific name is Symphoricarpos albus. Like most botanical names this one is descriptive of the plant in 'tiuestirtn'. and just about as imposing" in. appearance. The name is Of Greek origin, Symph oricarpos meaning close-packed fruit, and albus being just an other ay of saying white. O Ther? is a peculiar and very interesting fact concerning this snoSy fruit.

There are four seed cham bers, but for some strange rea son only two opposite chambers bear fertile seeds, one to each cell. The remaining alternate cells bear incipient seeds that never mature. For stock growers Snowberry has been found to be useful as well as ornamental. In some parts of the west it is considered an important browse plant for both cattle and sheep. Because of the fact that this plant provides a pleasing and variable beauty through so long a season it is often domesticated as an odd and striking ornamen tal. It is hardy and will grow from transplanted root or cut tings. Due to the snowy appearance of its berries and their per sistence into the holiday season, even though they may be gone, or mostly gone, by Christmas time, they are looked v.pon by many as friendly harbingers of the yule season.
