Bloom in the rock garden is a problem 

 | during the summer months, as very few

 bloom after July 1st. Portulaca seed scat- 

 tered over the rock garden in May will 

 provide blooms all summer. In order that 

 color schemes may be carried out, we 

 have imported from the English special- 

 ist the following Double Portulacas in 

 separate colors.
