Dielytra Spectabilis. 
A pretty graceful plant which is almost hardy, and will thrive well in a fairly sheltered 
position on a warm sunny border. It makes a charming pot plant for the cool greenhouse 
or window, where its long graceful 
racemes of pink and white lyre- 
shaped flowers and deeply serrated 
delicate foliage produce a most 
decorative effect.

Spiraeas. 
The Spiraea is a great favourite as a 
pot plant for greenhouse and window 
decoration during the early months 
of the year, its long feathery plumes 
thrown well above the rich green, 
graceful foliage, and its beautifully 
compact habit, makes it one of the 
most valuable of decorative plants. 
The roots are ready in November, 
and should be potted up as soon 
after that time as possible. After 
growth has commenced they should 
receive frequent and copious water- 
ings.
