HjEMEROCALLIS SIEBOLDTIANA. 



Class. Order. 



HEX A NDR I A MO NOG YXIA . 



A native of Japan, introduced lately by 

 the Botanist whose name it bears to the 

 Leyden garden, whence we obtained it in 

 1830. 



It grows freely, and flowers in June. 

 Like others of the genus, the blossoms are 

 of short duration. It is increased slowly 

 by dividing the root. It should be potted 

 in rich loam, and is probably hardy enough 

 to endure our winters unprotected.
