PORTULACA. 
The Portulaca delights in a warm sun and sandy soil, 
and the drouth is never too long nor the heat too intense 
for this beautiful little salamander. The Portulaca 
does not like a clay soil nor black muck. It makes a 
brilliant bed on the lawn. Sow seed in the open ground 
early, or under glass. Easily transplanted. Only one 
possible objection can be made to the Portulaca, and 
that is its flowers are fully open only in sunshine; like 
the sun-dial, it counts only the bright hours. The per¬ 
fectly double Portulaca forms no seed, so that seed 
must be saved from semi-double flowers , and from fifty 
to seventy-five per cent, of plants from this seed will 
give double flowers.
