Sparaxis. Irirlwrw.
Propagation is usually by offsets ; also by seeds.
Sparmannia. Tilirrcfw.

Spathiphyllum. ..l ~WIW.
Prop:~gi~ted mostl>v by division of t,he root,stocks ; also by seeds
when procurable. See ~~lrncfcr, page 239.
Specularia (Venus’ Looking-Glass). Cum pan u~lucrcp.
The common annual specular& are easily grown from seeds
sown where the plants arcs to bloom, or they may be started indoors.
Sphaeralcea (Glolw ~fullow). 3Inlw~v.
I’ropaga’ted by- scbf‘( 1s ; by greenwood cuttings.
Sphaerogyne : 7’rwrwcr.
Spinach. (Spinacia olmm~a). Chelropodiacccr.
Raised from seeds, sown usually where the crop is to stand, either
in fall or spring. Sometimes started in hotbeds for early crop,
and transplanted to field or allowed to mature in the frame. The
plant iu hardy, and in the intermediate climates will stand in field
over winter if sis to nine weeks old when freezing weather sets in.
Spiraea. Rosncf cr.
Propagated by seeds, sown as soon as ripe or stratified till spring.
Commonly increased by cuttings, either of mature or green wood.
Green cuttings usually make the best plants. These are made in
summer and handled in frames. Some sorts are grown from layers in
spring. The herbaceous kinds are often increased by division, but
these kinds are now referred to other genera, as Filipendula and
Aruncus. Plants forced in winter give excellent cutting-wood, which
shoulcl be taken when the growth is completed. Genera formerly
included in SpirEa are ChamEbatiaria, Holodiscus, Physocarpus,
SibirEa, Sorbaria, and others.
