Be aware that garlic variety names are notoriously loose; there are so many
variations, landraces, local adaptations, whatever. And "reputable"
sources have been known to rename what they already have so the collectors
among us will buy the same thing again. There has been some laboratory
genetic fingerprinting done, which may help....I grow over a dozen
varieties, named by their source (mail order, local garlic fest, etc.).
