THE OREGON STATE FLOWER.
OmciaI PRONUNCIATION of what Shall
Be the State Flower"

OmciaI PRONUNCIATION of "what Shall
Be the State Flower
Referring to the adoption of the Ore
gon grape, the Telegram report OF the
Hood River meeting Gays: The com
mittee appointed to select a state
flower did not report, but after thor
ough discussion the society adopted the
berberis aquifolium, or Oregon grape, as
the state flower, by a unanimous vote.
The plant was adopted as whole, COM
prised of the berry and the wax-like
leaves, which combination will un-
doubtedly have very pretty effect. 1t
is plant peculiar to this state, grows
throughout the length and, breadth of
it, and is also well known for.ts medici-
nal qualities. Other flowers promi-
nently considered were the Washington
lily, calochortus, joliniei, gaillardia aris-
tata, rhododendrun, occldenti, dogwood,
mock orange and madrona; but none
were as available as the Oregon grape.
The Oregon grape, of which there are
two indigenous species,- berberis aqui-
tolium and B. nervossa might be
thought a suitable emblem tor the state,
more by reason of its name, perhaps,
than anything else, yet its very name
goes to show that it is particularly a
flower within the borders of the state of
Oregon. The flower is very small and
grows in dense clusters. The berry, the
distinguishing feature. of the plant, is a
waxy globule about the size and shape
of a goosberry, and generally of dull
blue color. The foliage, however, is
very graceful, assumes very brilliant
colors, varying in intensity at different
periods of the year, and can be used for
decorative purposes with the finest effect.
The stem itself is very low, not more
than five or six inches in hight and
about the thickness of an ordinary lead
pencil. The long narrow leaves, COM
posed of several pairs of bright green
leaflets, with an odd terminal leaflet,
| lanceolete in outline, of texture thick
tough and leathery, and beset along their
edge by numerous sharp spinous pro-
ceses, are disposed most gracefully in 8
fan-like manner, by the beauty of theil
form and their pleasing arrangement
never failing to elicit the warmest adj
miration.
