McMahon. AIcMahon White. — This variety originated some 

 years ago in Richland county, Wis., and has attained consider- 

 able prominence in that and adjoining states on account of its 

 size, appearance and reputed hardiness. Cions of it received from 

 G. J. Kellogg, Janesville, Wis., were topworked on a bearing tree 

 in 1888 and fruited for the first time in 1892. Tree is spreading in 

 habit, a good grower, productive.
