Armenian Pale Green Cucumber, or Armenian Burpless Cucumber, Yard Long, Guta, Snake or Serpent Cucumber. Tender skin never needs peeling, never bitter and are burpless. Very good for a humid climate. Introduced from Armenia to Italy in the1400s. Hard to find, but are one of the best-regarded slicing cucumbers. They can be sliced thin and used to stir-fry or Asian soups for an tasty change.

Very productive of light-green, distinctive heavily ribbed fruit that will grow 24-36 in. x 3-4 inch diameter, best flavor at 12-18 inches. Mild flavor, easily digested-skin and all, fluted slices, prolific, twists and turns on ground, hangs fairly straight from trellis.
