Echo behavior

Echo is removing extra blank spaces. See the command.

export INSTALLDIR=”First Second /Two Space”
echo $INSTALLDIR
out put: First Second /Two Space
Here only on blnak space is present while with command

Echo “$INSTALLDIR”
Out put: ”First Second /Two Space”
It’s correct output with two blank spaces.
Any one can pls. explains why echo is behaving like this.
