NERIUM (Oleander,) Orient. (S.) The general 
characteristics of this species are too well 
known to need description, but most people 
seem to overlook the fact that there are many 
named varieties, ranging in color through 
various shades of red, pink, white and yellow, 
which are very fine. They do best when planted 
in the full sun. It should not be forgotten that 
all parts of the Oleander are poisonous if 
eaten. We grow the following varieties: 
Red, white, pink, salmon.
