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, etc. 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.
