 White Swan. (Group 9, section 1.) Origin not given. 



Description.— Tubers cylindrical, medium long, tapering at one end; eyes 

 rather deep; skin buff; flesh nearly white. Reference: Rural New Yorker, 

 vol. 45, 1886, p. 281. 

 White Triumph. Synonyms, Early White Triumph, Pride of the South, White Bliss, 

 Junior Pride. (Group 2.) A white sport of Bliss's Triumph. Introduced by the 

 Iowa Seed Co. in 1904. 



Description. — Season early; earlier than Early Ohio. Tubers strongly resemble 

 Bliss's Triumph in shape, while in general appearance they are somewhat similar 

 to the Improved Peachblow; eyes not so deep; skin smoother. References: 

 Iowa Seed Co.'s catalogue, 1904, p. 34; D. Landreth & Sons' catalogue, 1910, 

 p. 74; S. L. Lamberd & Co.'s catalogue, 1908, p. 19. 



Note. — The skin of the \Miite Triumph is white with an occasional splash of 

 carmine on some tubers, either around the eyes or on other portions. There 

 seems to be some confusion in the minds of seedsmen as to the identity of this 

 variety with Pride of- the South, many seedsmen claiming that they are identical. 

 As observed by the %vriter in 1914, the Pride of the South showed more color 

 around the eyes and was a slightly longer tuber, not so distinctly roundish as the 

 White Triumph.
