No. 700. 
NERIUM OLEANDER album. 
Class. Order 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This variety of the Oleander differs slight- 
ly from the old white kind ; the plant is less 
robust and the flowers also more delicate, 
with a few faint stripes in the inside. 
The Oleander is a long-known native of 
the South of Europe. It thrives very well 
in the greenhouses of this country, in which 
it should be kept during the summer, as 
well as winter, in order to see the blossoms 
in their greatest perfection. It may be 
increased by cuttings or layers, and the soil 
should be rich loam.
