Some General Information About 
Wisconsin’s Greatest Nursery 
OUR PACKING AND SHIPPING 
FACILITIES 
We have the most modern building possessed by any nursery 
in the Northwest. Every tree, plant or shrub is packed under 
cover with wet moss or similar material, wrapped with waterproof 
paper and burlap, and then immediately shipped or delivered; 
thus insuring the minimum of exposure to the trees or plants. 
We have experienced employes who are trained in the handling 
of our goods. Our many years’ experience in the handling of 
nursery products enables us to deliver stock that satisfies thou- 
sands of customers in all sections of the state. 
WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT US 
This is a cordial invitation to study each page of this catalog 
carefully, to order such varieties as you may require with the as- 
surance of receiving thorough satisfaction, and to visit the 
nurseries or the general offices of the McKay Nursery Company 
whenever it is convenient for you to do so. 
OUR NURSERY 
Our nurseries are located at Waterloo, Wis. (see map on rear 
cover.) There we have over 500 acres of choice farm land, de- 
voted to the growing of hardy nursery stock, particularly adapted 
to our Wisconsin climate. Our soil is ideal for growing good 
healthy plants with lots of fibrous roots, that are so essential to 
the successful transplanting of those plants. We offer our nursery 
goods to you in the firm confidence that they will give you last- 
ing satisfaction, 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee our stock to be the best quality always, and to 
be delivered in good condition. We are extremely careful in 
seeing that all plants and trees are correctly labeled and we hold 
ourselves prepared to replace, on satisfactory proof, all stock 
that may prove untrue to the description under which it is sold, 
or, at our option, to refund the amount paid therefor, but we 
shall in no case be liable for any sum greater than the amount 
originally received for said nursery stock. 
INSPECTION 
Our nurseries are inspected by the state entomologist twice a 
year, as required by law, and we hold his certificate that our 
stock is free from injurious insects and contagious diseases. 
ABOUT OUR REPRESENTATIVES 
The McKay Nursery Company is represented in practically 
every community of this territory by a man who practices a 
service creed. These men comprise a group of alert, industrious, 
helpful representatives of whom this Company is justly proud. 
In serving you, each of our representatives is backed by the 
Company itself, whose officers have had many years of experi- 
ence in the nursery business, and whose Landscape Department 
is one of the best staffed in the Middle West. With their help, 
your questions can be readily answered. With their help, the 
best of service is assured. 
You may know the McKay representative in your neighbor- 
hood. If not, we believe it will be worth your while to make his 
acquaintance. Just drop us a card and we'll be glad to send you 
his name and address.
