A large bulbed and vigorous strain; our best selling Artichoke. In a 1990 taste test at Rodale kitchens this one was a top rated softneck. Discovered on the Colville Indian Reservation by Larry Geno; original source unknown. Four to five clove layers with 8 to 20 cloves. Bulbs over 3 inches possible. It seems to have higher soluble solids (i.e. denser, heavier bulbs) than other Artichokes. Mild but lingering flavor with a tingle. Inchelium has a somewhat flattened bulb-shape.
Dependable and attractive large bulbs. Robust grower with 11 to 21 cloves. Cloves fat, round and milk-white. Noted in southern Oregon at Telowa Farms as early maturing.
Large, sometimes flat-round bulbs. 12 to 19 cloves, not many small interior cloves. A Northwest heirloom brought from Italy by the Lorz family to the Columbia Basin in Washington State in the 1800’s. Well adapted to summer heat. Has more heat and better flavor than a other Artichoke varieties.
Large, sometimes slightly flattened bulbs. Mostly 4 clove layers with 10 to 21 cloves per bulb, but 13 or 14 are common. Clove color tan or off white, often with pink blush. Not many small cloves. Better adapted to heat than Susanville but very vigorous and productive variety. Few stem bulbils. Mild flavor.
Strain grown in an isolated mountain valley in Okanogan County for the past 10 years. We believe original stock was actually Inchelium Red. Mild but lingering flavor with a tingle.
Originally selected by Chet Stevenson from an abandoned garden site in Tonasket, Washington in the 1960's. 10 to 20 cloves in 4 clove layers. A good raw garlic for folks who want garlic flavor without being overpowered, but extreme winter cold makes it hot, strong, and full flavored. Does not do well when overly wet in last month before harvest.
Consistently good yields, this garlic comes to us from a New York grower, Ron Bennett. Some purplish blush on the clove skins.
Collected in Rep. of Georgia by Hanelt about 1988, near the town of Tochliavri. Cloves streaked with red and pink. Flavor praised by many. Very popular.
