HEMEROCALLIS SIEBOLDII. 
It thrives best in a rather rich soil, and is perfectly hardy ; it is also a free 
flowering plant, and may be readily propagated from seeds or offsets ; but, unlike 
most of the other species of the genus, it is deciduous. We believe plants of it may 
be obtained at the Epsom Nursery at a moderate cost. 
The generic name is derived from hemera, a day, and hallos, beauty, in allusion 
to the short time the flowers remain expanded. 
The specific name is given in honour of Dr. Von Siebold, by whom it is said to 
have been introduced.
