Ruby,

They don't look all that small to me. Chesnok is small to medium as is Inchelium. Elephant is large but not a garlic, rather it is a type of leek.

If you want big bulbs then use the biggest bulbs you can buy or save. I always save the largest bulbs for seed. Also, fertlize your plot with lots of organic matter several weeks before planting and give them a bit of blood meal when the rain starts in spring. Hope that helps.

Alex
