SPIR/EA (The Meadow Sweet), for Forcing or Planting Cut. 
The large graceful feathery pure white 
fragrant flowers of Spiraea japonica, com- 
pacta 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 there- 
fore should be stood in saucers of water. 
Spiraea palmata and its varieties are very 
beautiful. In shady or moist borders out of 
doors, and at the margin of streams and ponds, 
the Spireeas are all very decorative plants.
