    Received from Filaree Garlic - 5 bulbs per pound, 9.8 cloves per bulb. Although listed as having 4 to 5 rows of clove per head, the ones I received had either just 1 row or a second partially filled row. The cloves, however, are extremely large and heavy. Inchelium Red is an artichoke type and, hence, should store well for 8-10 months.
