Abstract

The McKay peach was originally discovered on the farm of a Mr. Balmer in Wisconsin, near the McKay Nursery at Waterloo, Wisconsin. This peach was a chance seedling that grew up on a knoll where it was much exposed to strong winds. It appeared perfectly hardy and fruited annually. Nursery stock was produced from this tree, originally called the Balmer. Later the name was changed to Wisconsin, but it continued to win such favorable acclaim that it is now known by the name of the Nursery that distributes it, McKay.
