Billiardi (B i 1- 
liard’s Spirea). 
4 feet. July- 
August. A 
strong grower 
with dull green 
foliage and 
dense panicles 
of bright pink 
flowers. Also 
blooms occa¬ 
sionally during 
the fall. 
Spirea 
The Spireas are all elegant, low shrubs, of the easiest culture, and their 
blooming extends over a period of three months. 
Anthony Waterer (Bumalda). This variety has largely superseded its parent. 
It produces flowers of a bright crimson and blooms so freely that it may be 
kept in flower throughout the summer till late fall by trimming out dead 
bloom. 2 to 3 feet. (See picture on page 11 ). 
Arguta. 3 feet. May. Japan. Of light open habit, with small deep green foliage. 
When in bloom 
each branch is 
completely cov¬ 
ered with a 
wealth of min¬ 
ute, pure white 
flowers. 
Callosa alba (For¬ 
tune’s Dwarf 
White Spirea). 
2 feet. Blooms all summer. A pure white form. 
Froebeli. Has a flat pink blossom, very similar to Anthony Waterer. It re¬ 
sembles this variety in every respect except that it is a little stronger 
grower. Perfectly hardy and deserves extensive planting. 3 feet. 
Korean Spirea (Spirea Trichocarpa). This splendid new shrub is enthus¬ 
iastically acclaimed the finest Spirea yet discovered. It is strong growing, 
attaining a height when matured of 4 to 6 feet tall, forming a large, 
globe-shaped bush which is covered with large rounded clusters of 
snowy white flowers marked with darker eyes. Blooms about two weeks 
later than the popular Spirea Van Houttei. It is perfectly hardy as far 
north as Montreal. It retains its beautiful glossy green foliage late into 
the autumn. (See picture on page 13). 
French Grafted Lilacs. 
Spirea Van Houttei. 
Opulifolia var. aurea (Golden Spirea or 
Golden Leaved Ninebark). 5 to 8 
feet. Foliage is of a bright golden 
color and finely shaded. This is one 
of the finest golden leaved shrubs and 
a very desirable variety for the con¬ 
trast it offers. 
Sorbifolia. Long, showy panicles of 
white flowers. A fine Spirea. 6 to 7 
feet.

Dear Sir: 
I have been intending to write you for 
some time in regard to the 500 shrubs 
purchased for the Mazomanie Cemetery. 
Every plant has made a nice growth, and 
of course, we are more than satisfied. 
We shall think of the McKay Nursery 
Company when in further need of shrub¬ 
bery. 
Very truly yours,
