SHERWOOD NURSERY CO., Portland, Oregon 
Vaccinium ovatum (Evergreen Huckleberry) 
First discovered by the Lewis and Clark expedition at the mouth of 
the Columbia river in 1805. One of the great beauties of the plant 
is the thick, waxy leaves, of blended shades of green in spring and 
summer, and changing to a mixture of deep crimson and bronze in 
fall and winter. It is a rounded plant, many branched and of unusual 
density. Strong, vigorous grower, and stands unlimited shearing. 
Can be sheared into a hedge from 1 to 5 feet tall. Does well in 
either sun or shade, but is at its best in sunny exposures. An ever¬ 
green shrub of surpassing merit and probably the finest of all hedge 
plants.

Xerophyllum tenax (Pine Lily, Bear Grass, Squaw Grass, or Indian Basket Grass) 
A native of the Cascade and Rocky mountains. Grows into a graceful 
symmetrical bunch in weeping form and might be described as a low 
fountain in grass, about 18 inches high and 2 to 3 feet across. Out 
of the center of this grassy bunch grow the tall stems 3 to 5 feet in 
height and from 1 to as many as 20 in number, crowned with the 
long creamy-white lily heads of matchless beauty. The leaves which 
are grass-like are evergreen, and unusual as it may seem, it is an 
evergreen belonging to the lily family. Mountain slopes and meadows, 
clad in fields of these lilies are a thrilling picture, which once seen 
will never be forgotten. The grass is said to have been used by the 
squaws in early da3's in weaving baskets. Perfectly hardy, rather 
slow growing but long-lived. Should be planted in groups, and in the 
open where it is partially shaded during the day for best results. 
Will not bloom well if too shaded. The fine bunches of long, silky 
grass are very ornamental when the lily is not in bloom. A plant 
with a future, and rare in American gardens.
