A web site shows:-
"The flavour is superb, crisp and delicious - anyone can eat them and they are very easy to grow.
Sow in mid spring 1cm (½in) deep in 8cm (3in) pots of moist compost. Germination usually takes 7-10 days at 21-24C (70-75F). Gradually acclimatise the plants to outdoor conditions before planting outdoors after all risk of frost has passed.

Pinch out the growing point when 6 leaves have been made and train the shoots produced up netting, trellis etc. Do not remove the male flowers from this variety. Harvest the fruits before they reach full size for improved quality and better cropping. Tasty Green also grows happily in a greenhouse."

it's a climber. Easy to grow and prolific  :)  I sow mine indoors and then plant out after hardening off. I put it in a big pot (mayo tub)

In theory they are the same thing - climbers and trailers I mean - but I have not had any success persuading Burpless Tasty Green cucumbers to climb.  Mine want to trail.  I gave up last year and let them but the slugs got to my cukes later on in the season.  Good luck.
