'''Historical Notes:''' [[Thomas Jefferson]] sent seed of the snowberry, brought back from the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition]], to his nurseryman friend [[Bernard McMahon]]. In 1812 [[Bernard McMahon|McMahon]] sent Jefferson young plants, saying "This is a beautiful shrub brought by [[Meriwether Lewis|Captain Lewis]] from the River Columbia; the flower is small but neat, the berries hang in large clusters and are of a snow-white colour, and continue on the shrub, retaining their beauty all the winter, especially if kept in a greenhouse…I have given it the trivial English name of Snowberry-bush."<ref>28 February 1812. [[Short Title List|Betts, ''Garden Book'']], 481.</ref> Jefferson promised the shrub to his Parisian friend, [[Madame de Tessé]], and plants were sent to General John Hartwell Cocke, of Bremo Plantation on the James River in March 1817.<ref>Ibid, 637.</ref> Monticello was one of the first American gardens where this shrub<ref>See Ibid, 475.
