Umbellularia californica (Oregon Myrtle) 
A handsome hardy evergreen tree, 25 to 30 feet in height and sometimes 
reaching 75 feet. Native of southern Oregon and northern California where it 
reaches its greatest perfection of growth along the streams and valleys of the 
coast range. The tree is conical in form and the leaves are highly aromatic. 
Well adapted to hedges. Sargent has described the Myrtle as “one of the 
stateliest and most beautiful inhabitants of North American forests, and no 
evergreen tree of temperate regions surpasses it in the beauty of its dark 
dense crown of lustrous foliage”

VACCINIUM 
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 chang- 
ing 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 un- 
limited 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 partly shaded exposures. 
A hardy evergreen shrub of surpassing merit and a fine hedge plant. Berries 
small but abundant and of fine flavor.

Vaccinium parvifolium (Red Huckleberry) 
A lovely deciduous shrub native of western Oregon. Foliage dainty, bright 
green, turning to dazzling shades of red and bronze in autumn. Does well 
in either sun or shade. Bark is red and in the spring the new buds give the 
plant a red sheen. Flowers pink and attractive, followed in summer by a 
great profusion of bright red berries. These though acid are edible and used 
for jelly making. Its habit of growth, fine foliage, bright red buds and 
twigs, dainty flowers and showy red berries combine to make this shrub a 
splendid landscape subject. Very rare in the nursery trade. Hardy.

Vaccinium vitis idaea (Mountain Cranberry) 
We brought our propagating stock by air from the Arctic Circle, north of 
Fairbanks, Alaska. Coming from this extreme northern country insures its 
hardiness anywhere against cold. A choice little ground cover having small, 
delicate leaves, pink bell flowers and small conspicuous bright red berries 
in the fall. Grows to a height of 6 inches in a compact mass of pleasing 
foliage. Has glossy evergreen leaves which turn beautiful bronze and red 
late in the year. Rare and very choice among dwarfs.
