• GERMAN RED- NOT AVAILABLE IN 2010. A Rocambole with strong, spicy-hot flavor.  Usually more than 10 cloves per bulb. One of the first varieties to win our hearts many years ago.
  
• GERMAN WHITE-  Imported from Germany about 11 years ago by N.Y. grower Dave Piedmont. Another variety with very large cloves, a potent, but not hot flavor when eaten raw.  A consistently vigorous grower for us, although small in 2010.
• KAZAKHSTAN-  an early maturing variety, white skinned cloves, apporximately 7-8 per bulb.  Good strong flavor.Very small, very limited in 2010.

• SIBERIAN- NOT AVAILABLE IN 2010. Actually a misnomer, as this Porcelain garlic is originally from Ukraine.  This strong, spicy Slavic treasure has 4-7 large cloves and is a good storage garlic.

• CHINESE HARDNECK- This unusual garlic is actually a bolting softneck....a softneck which puts up a scape!  We love it because it is the hands-down earliest good-sized bulbs we grow.  We started with 5 LB of this one 2 years ago, and it did so well that we've kept most of it for seed.  Pungent and delicious. Small and limited in 2010.
