Nerium Oleander. The Oleanders are too well known to renuire extended description, but « e may say that this magnificent class of plants has been shame- fully neglected. No plant is easier to manage, tlie flowers possess a fragrance almost rivaling tlie Hose, and a well specimen in bloom is an object of great beauty. In tlie fall they may be removed to the cellar, where they will require no further attention until spring. By a little care this plant maybe trained in the form of a perfect miniature tree, which is the most satisfactory and ornamental shape when grown as a pot or tub plant. A very de- sirable point in its favor is that it may be grown in a very much smaller pot or tub than would be required by almost any other plant of the same size. Should have good drainage and be watered plentifully. Here they are perfi'Ctly liardy when full grown and succeed in any quality of soil Should be ifrown by Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jessamine Gardens; Pike, Walter N; Ellsworth, W.
