Georgia Crystal (H, st)

http://thegarlicstore.com/ZenCart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_29&

products_id=91

A pretty porcelain garlic can produce large bulbs but only with a half dozen or so

large cloves. The wrapper is clean, firm and white in color. The flavor is relatively

mild, even when eaten raw. A good storing bulb for a hardneck.

Georgia Fire Garlic (H)


products_id=98

This porcelain hardneck's garlic name should not scare anyone away. It is hot but not

unpleasantly so - and is great in home made salsa. It produces about 6 large cloves perbulb. Easy to peel. It is also called Cichisdzhvari obviously easier to pronounce if

you are a citizen of Georgia (where so many great garlics have originated).

Gypsy Red (H)

http://www.garlicsmiths.com/porcelains.php

This lovely Romanian heirloom garlic produces large, tall white bulbs with four to six

extremely large purple and tan cloves. Gypsy Red has a hot, strong, lasting flavor that

mellows with cooking, and tastes superb when cooked with chicken.

This is a beautiful, large-cloved porcelain garlic ususally produces just three or four

fat cloves per bulb. Its white wrapper surrounds large, pink hued cloves. Very easy to

peel and has a rather long shelf life. It's pretty hot, and cold winters don't faze it.

Silver Rose (S, st)


products_id=29

This silvery skinned artichoke variety bulb is a classic. The rosy-skin bulbs have both

large and small cloves. They have some heat, but are not overwhelming.They size up

just beautifully in your garden. And they are good keepers. Most will be eaten long

before the following spring, but a 8 or 9 month shelf life is possible.

A popular selection that is well adapted to the British climate and gives a good crop of
