The English Telegraph Burpless Cucumber is a classic heirloom variety cherished for its long, slender shape, excellent texture, productive growth. Growing 12-18 inches in length, this smooth, dark green cucumber boasts a crisp, non-bitter flavor with minimal seeds, making it perfect for fresh eating, salads, and sandwiches. The English Telegraph Cucumber was a favorite in Victorian England, often grown in heated greenhouses called "cucumber houses" to ensure a steady supply year-round, especially during the colder months. English Telegraph Burpless is an excellent choice for both greenhouse and outdoor cultivation. Burpless cucumbers are bred with low levels of cucurbitacin, making it easier to digest! They are sometimes called "English or European Cucumbers," and are wrapped in plastic in stores to protect this thin-skinned variety. Delicious for slicing and great for crisp pickles. This cucumber's versatility and delightful taste make it a staple in any garden and kitchen.
Also Known As: Victorian Cucumber, Hothouse Cucumber, Greenhouse Cucumber, Near-Seedless Cucumber, European Cucumber, Burpless Cucumber, Long Cucumber, Improved Telegraph Cucumber, Continental Cucumber, Slicing Cucumber, Garden Cucumber.

I am giving this item three stars only because I have just planted the seeds. Sort of silly to be asked to rate an item when you have not seen the result. I hope that it turns out to be five stars with many productive plants. The seeds are packaged by Yinzers in the land of Pittsburgh LOL. I hope I have plenty of cucumbers to share with Yinzers...

Not good packaging or directions but excellent germination percentage, will add more if they mature and produce the correct type of cucumbers.

This is the first time I had ordered from Tomorrow Seeds, and it won't be my last. My wife loves English cucumbers so I ordered some seeds. The seeds looked very healthy and there was a lot of them. I liked how they were packed in three separate small packages. I often share with friends so this will make it easy. I live in upstate NY so it will be awhile before I can plant them. I will update the review later in the year.
