Telegraph Improved Cucumber is an enhanced strain of the classic 1800s English heirloom, celebrated for its extra-long, slender fruits and smooth, glossy skin. This refined variety delivers crisp, mild, refreshing flavor without bitterness—thanks to its very small, soft seeds and naturally burpless texture.

Perfect for slicing, salads, sandwiches, or fresh eating, Telegraph Improved stays firm longer than many standard cucumbers. Its vigorous vines thrive when trellised and are ideal for both outdoor gardens and greenhouse production. Consistently uniform and highly productive, this improved English cucumber remains a favorite for home gardeners and market growers seeking exceptional quality and flavor.
