liant and quite so lasting. Quickly grown from seed. They suc¬ 
ceed best in a sunny open situation, preferring a light rich 
loam. For early flowers, sow seed indoors or in the hotbed in 
March; or they may be sown in the open ground from late 
April until July. If faded flowers are removed, they will bloom 
until frost.

Portulacas enjoy the hottest, dryest situ¬ 
ation and will grow in almost any soil. Fol¬

Sedum, and the flowers resemble single and 
double roses. They bloom most freely 
throughout the summer and fall. Scatter a

fill up empty spaces. Sow seed in May when 
the ground is warm and it is well to mix 
the seed with dry sand or soil to ensure an 
even distribution.
