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.
Bought in the Transylvania region of Romania by Professor Feur of Brandeis Univ. 10 to 12 cloves per bulb. Large Bulbs with old world character.
This one is capable of producing extremely large bulbs, some up to 4 inches in diameter. From the Kettle Falls region of Washington state. Large cloves, flavor is similar to Inchelium Red.
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.
A Northwest heirloom brought from Italy by the Lorz family to the Columbia Basin in Washington State in the late 19th century. Well adapted to summer heat. Has more heat and better flavor than other Artichoke varieties. Large, sometimes flat-round bulbs. 12 to 19 cloves, not many small interior cloves.
Consistently good yields, this is a softneck standard in the NE. 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.
Robust flavor with a hint of sweetness. Great raw! Purple tinged bulbs range in size from 1 1/2 to 3 inches; enjoys water, easy to grow, especially in cooler climates. Grown for 30 years in the San Juan Islands of Washington State.
A good yielding Artichoke from Piecanza in northern Italy. Seed stock obtained from Seeds of Italy.
