PORTULACA. (Portulak.) (Irish Moss.) 
Too much cannot be said in praise of this pop¬ 
ular and handsome annual which produces a per¬ 
fect carpet in a remarkably short time. Succeeds 
best in an exposed, sunny location and flourishes 
in dry and very shallow soil. It is of a creeping 
nature with moss-like foliage, which from early 
summer until frost is hidden by the brilliant rose¬ 
like flowers that open wide in the morning and 
close in the evening. Because of its foliage it is 
frequently known as Irish Moss or Moss Rose. 
It is well to mix the seed with three or four times 
its bulk of dry sand or soil which permits an 
even and easy distribution of the seed. It may 
safely be sown the latter part of April.

pearance. Closely allied to the Petunias, but 
grow erect, producing an abundance of bloom 
from late summer until frost. The seed is very 
fine and should be sown carefully and sparingly 
as the plants are not readily transplanted. They 
thrive in a light, rich, sandy loam and will re¬ 
spond to liberal treatment. 2 ft.
