SPIRAEA (The Meadow Sweet), for Forcing or Planting out. 
The large graceful feathery pure white fragrant flowers of Spirsea japonica and the 
varieties, compacta multiflora and Astilboides, are most valuable for furnishing vases, while 
the plants are amongst the most decorative for the greenhouse and sittting-room. In forcing, a 
moist atmosphere and abundance of water at the roots is necessary. Spiraea palmata has 
feathery clusters of lovely rosy-crimson blossoms, which when cut are greatly prized for vases and 
bouquets. Spiraea japonica fol. aureo-retieulatis is attractive and ornamental, and forces 
as easily as 6'. japonica. In shady or moist borders out of doors, tne Spiraeas are all very 
decorative plants. each— s. d.
