Portulaca 
• Hock Rose , Sun Plant, Rose Moss 
What could be prettier in a bed, border, porch box, or rock garden than this 
lovely plant witji its delicate light green needle-like foliage and fine, large 
flowers in many gay colors? Give it full sun and a well drained, rather dry, 
or even stony soil and it will bloom all summer. 
Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked into a mellow condition. 
Scatter the seed over the surface, slightly rake it in and firm with a smooth 
board. Later thin or transplant to stand 8 inches apart each way- For earlier 
blooms start plants indoors in shallow boxes or seed pans, transplanting later 
a.ter all danger of frost is past. May be transplanted even when in bloom.
