I received my Mahon from SC WI R. who received it from Dr Bradshaw, who apparently found it and named it several years ago. I have it listed on my website as Mahan, but will probably change it to Bradshaw as some other people have done, so as not to risk Confrontation


At about the same time I received an unknown heirloom variety from an older gentleman here in Oklahoma that had grown his variety for over 30 years, he received it from a neighbor that had grown it years before that. After growing it out, I found it to be identical to Mahon.

The description in the patent describes the variety I have (and I must say) is one great tasting sweetpotato..BUT this "new" Mahon it is NOT a new and distinctive cultivar as the Patent says!

Another variety that was awarded a patent was the "Stokes Purple" another variety that was apparently cleaned up by tissue culture.
