PLATE 41 



A, Symphoricarpos albus. The dense thickets formed by the snowberry, coupled with its ability .to grow 

 on poor sites, make it a valuable plant in erosion control. B, Umbellularia catifornica. Oregon myrtle, 

 shown here growing along a stream in the northern part of its range, may find a place in stream-bank 

 plantings. Its value as wildlife cover is great; its value as food is possibly greater than actual records would 

 indicate. C, Vaccinium parvifolium. The juicy, red fruit of this species is probably of great value for 

 wildlife despite the paucity of actual stomach records.
