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. Its winter and 
spring colors utterly defy description. It is a rounded plant, many branched 
and of unusual density. Strong, vigorous grower, and stands unlimited shear- 
ing. 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 partly shaded exposures. A hardy evergreen 
shrub of surpassing merit and a fine hedge plant.
