Snowberry
I$ Familiar
Valley Shrub
Y. AL HOBAHT
Most of us are familiar, I
suiioose. with the Snowberry
bush. 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. Th more
familiar Common Snowberry
O qIs a lO'V'altitude shrub and is
gcattererf.-all about tile valley.
(from an esthetic standpoint
Simon Snoy. berry is one of
our most valuable shrub's. In
the spring mid early nimmcr its
g?ly holiday grab is strikingly at
tractive even to the uncritical
eyS. An erect shrub two to four
q wei nr'i, n .s unra in preiiey
paired leaves, dark green and
Cj smooth, shove, lighter and usual
ly smooth beneath, sometimes
O ightly hairy b The leaves are
espeSally,oattractive because of
their variability some are al
most round, others are oval or
Oelliptic; soir.e are smooth-edged,
magy are somewhat ltbed or
wavy. 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. The berry, some
times half an inch in diameter,

Air Cadet Here
To Visit Parents
Jerry C. Neill has arrived in
Medford to spend the holidays
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Neill, 1415 West Eighth

States Navy at Pensacola, Fla.,

Cobleighs Plan
Open House Sunday
Phoerlix Open house will be
held by Mr. and Mrs. Guy

Phoenix on Sunday, December
30, in celebration of their 45th
wedding anniversary.
Friends are invited to call be
tween the hours of two and five
o'clock in the afternoon.
always contains just two viable
seeds. 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.
