A, Symphoricarpos albus. The dense thickets formed by the snowberry, coupled with its abiUty.to grow 
on poor sites, make it a valuable plant in erosion control. B, Umbellularia californka. 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 parvifotium. The juicy, red fruit of this species is probably of great value for 
wildlife despite the paucity of actual stomach records.
