The Horticultural Magazine  

AND  

GARDEN GUIDE.  

ANNUALS.  

No. 7.  

MELBOURNE, JULY, 1877.  

VoL. I.  

The Nemophila.  

This is beautiful genus of free blooming little plants, mostly  

annuals, growing from six to nine inches high with neat and  

elegant flowers. There are several species and varieties, nearly all  

being pretty and worthy of culture, while some are well known  

and deservedly popular. Flowering early in the spring, when  

growing in masses by themselves, they are very showy, and form  

excellent margins round small beds of other plants. They are well  

adapted for pot culture, and as fringe round vases or hanging  

baskets filled with ferns or other plants they have charming  

effect. For window box culture they are also admirable plants,  

provided the situation is shaded.  

The Nemophila derives its name from nemos grove, and phileo  

to love, the whole family delighting in shady situations, and it be-  

longs to the natui'al order Hydrophyllacem. It is native of North  

America, the annual species being found in California. The first  

species introduced to Europe was A. insignis, which is decidedlv  

the handsomest one of the family, in 1833, and within year or  

two after N. atomuria followed. Others were soon after discovered,  

and there are now some five or six species in general cultivation.  

Most of these comprise several varieties, and among them are to be  

found flowers of various shades, of blue, purple, black, and white,  

some beautifully spotted, marbled, or margined with other  

colours.  

For early spring blooming, the Nemophila may be grown in the  

ordinary beds and borders, but if required later in the season the  

situation must be shady, as it will not stand much sun. It may  

be grown with very little trouble in any moderately good garden.
