JOHN SAUL'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



NERIUMS.— Oleanders. 



The following collection has been selected from the best European growers. I would remark 

 what they call double, in some cases are semi-double, and whilst young are disposed to give 

 single flowers. 



Each. 

 ^Nerium, Lilian Henderson, this beautiful Ole- 

 ander is the most prolific bloomer and finest of 

 the white-flowered varieties. The flowers are 

 douhle, full petalled, rose-like in form, with a 

 delicious perfume ; small plants blooming freely 

 will cause this plant to be grown largely for 

 decorative purposes, as well as being unique 



for the bouquet 50

 ington.
