Portulaca - Hose Moss 
A beautiful hardy annual, the flowers are orange, white, 
red, salmon, buff and other rich and delicate shades and are 
unsurpassed in brilliancy. The plants are low growing and 
creep along the ground. They will grow and bloom in almost 
any location, even in a dry, sunny place among stones, where 
almost any other plant would soon die. In sowing mix the 
seed with dry sand to insure even distribution. Sow in May 
when the ground is thoroughly warmed, and very soon one 
of the loveliest of floral carpets will appear.
