70 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



On the Nerium Oleander. — Will you be kind enough to state in an early 

 number the best method of cultivating the Nerium Oleander, to prevent the buds 

 from falling off after they are once formed. 



An Old Subscriber. 



[When the flower buds are foimiug, the plant should be removed to a higher 

 temperature; the warmest part of a greenhouse may do, but if to a vinery or 

 plant stove all the better. Particular care is remaned so that it never flags in 

 consequence of a want of water, as if allowed once to droop, they would be cer- 

 tain to fall off soon afterwards. The plant requires plenty of pot room, and 

 flourishes in a light rich loam having plenty of drainage, — Conductor.]
