Choice Flower Seeds 42 WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, NEW YORK 
PORTULACA 
This charming little annual is unrivaled for brilliancy among plants of low growth, and has the 
happy faculty of flourishing under almost all conditions, though hot sun and a light sandy soil 
suit it best. Nothing is prettier for beds, edgings, rockwork, ete. Through the driest, hottest 
seasons it flourishes amazingly, carpeting the ground with a mat of succulent foliage that in the 
forenoon is hidden by gayest flowers. The seed does not germinate until hot weather, and 
should be sown late.
