The cucumber you refer to as regular is the most common field-grown variety. Known as a slicing cucumber, it ranges in size from 6 to 9 inches, and its dark-green skin is usually waxed to prevent moisture loss. The English cucumber, which may be called seedless, European, burpless, or hothouse (which is where it is commercially grown), grows to between 1 and 2 feet in length. Slimmer and smooth-skinned, it is wrapped in plastic and can cost as much as $2 per cucumber.
