NB 46 WM. ELLIOTT & SONS’ RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS NB 
PORTULACA 
This charming little annual is unrivaled for brilliancy among 
plants of low growth, and has the happy faculty of flourishing un- 
der almost all conditions, though hot sun and light sandy soil suit 
it best. Nothing is prettier for beds, edgings, rockwork, etc. 
Through the driest, hottest seasons it flourishes amazingly, carpet- 
ing 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. Pkt.
