No. 21. LANDRETH'S WHITE SLICING, Land., '84, '87. 
Ripe fruit oblong oval, smooth and regular; rich yellow, sometimes 
inclining to russet; skin very slightly cracked; well developed samples 
8 in. long, 3 in. in diameter; — at table size rather irregular, furrowed 
and warty; nearly white, with a few blackish spines that easily rub off; 
flesh white, moderately thick, very crisp, tender; — at pickle size

cucumbers. It differs from the Early Yellow Dutch in being more 
russet at maturity, and in having blackish instead of white spines.
