EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Buffalo Berry, Shepherdia argentia, a thorny shrub native to the western regions of North America. The illustration, created by D.G. Passmore and published in the Report of the Pomologist of the US Department of Agriculture in 1892, was later chromolithographed by Hoen. The Buffalo Berry is also known as the Silver Buffalo Berry or Bull Berry, due to its historical significance to Native American tribes and the large, sturdy animals that feed on its fruit. The shrub is characterized by its silvery-gray bark, small, yellow flowers, and bright red to orange-red berries. The Buffalo Berry is an important food source for wildlife, including bison, pronghorn antelope, and birds. The shrub is also valued for its medicinal properties, with the berries and bark being used to treat a variety of ailments. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this botanical illustration provide a beautiful and accurate representation of the Buffalo Berry, showcasing its unique features and the natural beauty of the American West during the late 19th century.
