PORTULACA, aptly called the Rose of 
Mexico, will transform that sun-beaten spot, 
with amazing rapidity into a charming and 
continuous floral carpet. 
The colors of both the single and double 
flowers are as clear as sparkling jewels and 
literally glisten against the fleshy succulent 
foliage. The dainty single blooms resemble 
the native Wild Rose in shape while the 
doubles are much like miniature Roses. 
They are very easy to grow. Just sow the 
seeds out at the end of April and lightly 
rake them into the soil, not too deeply. Thin 
the seedlings out to stand 4 inches apart. 
Try the Rose of Mexico! You will be 
pleased with the luminous display of color.
