This is the salamander amongst flowers ; it can stand any 

 amount of heat or drought, and will flourish any- 

 where ; the plants grow about a foot high, are 

 of a trailing or spreading habit, and are covered 

 all season with a profusion of beautiful flowers of 

 every color one could desire. The seed can be 

 sown early in open ground, and plants trans- 



?lanted even if they have commenced to bloom, 

 n fact, you can do almost as you like with this 

 accommodating annual. The Portulacas of to- 

 day are a great improvement on the old kinds,
