Nice info!!! All 4 of my grandparents (polish and serbian) came through ellis island. No doubt they had garlic too.
Interestingly, Polish Hardneck garlic was first grown in Canada and later imported to the U.S.
(Brave gives; ) "Vrbički beli luk is a Serbian garlic variety originating from the Vrbica area. This authentic sort of spring garlic is planted by hand and is easily recognizable by small, yet dense bulbs. The flavor is hot and sharp, while the aroma is very strong. When compared with other types of garlic, this one has a greater amount of essential oils and dry matter."
I have been growing a varity called Estonian Garlic for about 8 years. (I do not really want Hot garlic!) Its a large mild red hardneck that stores very well. I have had it last a full year and was using the last cloves while drying my harvested garlic. I Purchased it at either Baker Creek or Territorial Seeds, I do not recall which. Around 45 heads gets me through an entire year and I do not have to worry about Chinese garlic grown in some sort of toxic sludge or dried sewer waste.
