SPIRAEA (The Meadow Sweet), For Forcing or Planting Out. 
The large graceful feathery pure white fragrant flowers of Spiraea japonica, compacta 
multiflora, and astilboides are most valuable for furnishing vases, while the plants are amongst 
the most decorative for the greenhouse and sitting-room. In forcing, a moist atmosphere and 
abundance of water at the roots are necessary. The pots therefore should be stood in saucers of 
water. In shady or moist borders out of doors, and at the margin of streams and ponds, the Spirteas 
are all very decorative plants.
