Burpee's Sensational 

 Decorative Dahlia 



The most' valuable of all while decorative dahlias. 

 Let thr we:ther be as il may, and no other dahlia 

 blooming, JEAN KERR will be a mass of flowers. 

 Il is one of the hrsl lo flower and blooms contin- 

 uously until killed by frosl. 



In type it is a shorf-petaled decorative, and by some 

 classed as a show or ball dahlia. Il is an out- 

 standing variety because it n ver fails to bloom 

 freely. The pure white blooms are carried grace- 

 fully on long and strong stems. The illustration, 

 reproduced from a Fcrdhook photograph, shows the 

 compact growth and free-flowering habit. JEAN 

 KERR is a foremrsi variety for cut flowers, and 

 equally important for garden use. JFAN KERR 

 was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the American 

 Dallia Society when first exhil itcd in September, 

 1916. After it was tested in the trial grounds of 

 the American Dahlia Society it received a second 

 Certificate of merit on September 24, 1920.
