THE LADIES’ FLOWER-GARDEN 
the border about a foot in diameter, and to the same depth, which should be filled with sand, mixed with a small 
proportion of the common soil of the garden, and in which the seeds of the Eutoca should be sown. This should 
be done wherever a patch of these flowers is required ; and a similar hole should be dug and filled with peat for 
every patch of Nemophilas. Eutoca Menziesii is of a compact and somewhat dwarf habit of growth, and from 
this circumstance, and the profusion of its flowers, it is well adapted to form a mass of colour in one of the beds 
of a regular flower-garden.

Description, &c. —A very handsome species, with dark purplish blue flowers, and a dwarf compact habit 
of growth. It is a native of the Russian colony of Ross in New California, and seeds were sent to this country 
from St. Petersburg in 1836. It was named by Fischer and Meyer, in honour of a Swedish nobleman, who 
was employed by the Russian government in exploring the North West coast of North America. Seeds are 
common in the seed-shops, and the culture is the same as that of the other Californian annuals (see p. 156.) 
When sown in the open border, it will grow well in any common garden soil. 
OTHER SPECIES OF EUTOCA. 
E. DOUGLASSII, Benth. 
The leaves grow nearly all near the root, and the flower-stalks ascend nearly naked, with a cluster of flowers 
at the top. The flowers are of the same size and colour as those of Nemophila insignis. A native of California, 
not yet introduced. 
E. CUMINGII, Benth. 
Has small flowers, and is a native of the Andes of Chili. 
E. BRACHYLOBA, Benth. 
This is probably the same species as E. Cumingii , modified by its being a native of a colder climate, as it was 
found wild in California by Douglas. Neither of these species is introduced. 
E. PARVIFLORA, It. Br. ; PHACELIA PARVIFLORA, Pursli; POLEMONIUM DUBIUM. Willd. 
The flowers are small, and of a pale blue; and the plant, which is a native of Pennsylvania, was introduced 
in 1826. 
E. MEXICANA, Benth. 
Resembles E. parviflora , but has larger flow r ers. A native of Mexico, not introduced. 
E. GRANDIFLORA, Benth. 
Flowers an inch and a half in diameter; leaves large and wrinkled. A native of California, where it was 
found by Douglas. Introduced in 1838; there are seeds at Charlwood’s
