In the Fall of lOOS a plant was found amonsf Late BranchinR 

 White Asteis on which the flowers were solidly double, so much so 

 that, fr III! eight to ten flowers, only tiJty seeUJiiigs were grown the 

 following .vear.

 since. In luis. three-quirters of an acre net'ed $-J,H 0. An

Burpee's Dahlias 



JEAN KERR 



Burpee's Sensational 

 Decorative Dahlia 



The most valuable of all white decorative dahlias. 

 .^ Let the weather be as it may, and no other dahlia 

 blooming, JEAN KERR will be a mass of flowers. 

 It is one of the first to flower and blooms contin- 

 uously until killed by frost. 



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

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

 standing variety because it n ver fails to bloom 

 freely. The pure while blooms are carried grace- 

 fully on long and strong stems. The illustration, 

 reproduced from a Fordhook photograph, shows the 

 compact growth and free-flowering habit. JEAN 

 KEf^R is a foremrst variety for cut flowers, and 

 equally important for garden use. J FAN jCERR 

 was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the American 

 Dallia Society when first exhil ited ia 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, 1 920.
