Another review, by someone who has a great substack I follow, cited 100% germination, but mine was merely 75%. Certainly good enough!

We'd reserved a row in our garden to try these cukes. Holy cow, we are still impressed! Planted early may, it's now the end of July, and we have baby cukes everywhere. We've sliced, we've pickled, we've donated, we've gifted to friends and family, and we're still being blessed with some of the best cucumbers we've ever eaten. No mildew, not a bit of problem of any kind with the plants. Trellised beautifully. We'll be ordering these sees again next year, definitely a keeper.

Fruit is large, juicy, and tasty. Excellent for slicing/eating fresh. Planted in late August and started harvesting in early November. Vines grew over 7 feet tall. No outstanding problems with diseases or pests. Zone 8b.

Got these in early Feb 2012. All seeds I sowed have sprouted. Mind you, it was only 3 seeds but they all sprouted in one day. Sprouted on wet paper towels and transferred to cocofiber. 5 stars for sprouting. Nothing yet on taste or other qualities.
