Probably a general disclaimer, which they found necessary in attempts to try and please the public. That being said, I ordered some garlic from burpee one year and it was rather puny and did not produce big bulbs. So I think your query has merit.
In addition, I find that "most" of these places actually answer their phone and do not have a 12 step automated labyrinth you have to navigate. Very helpful people who are willing to give you a more direct answer.
I do find it odd that they deliver first come, first serve method. You probably drop your garlic in Sept., whereas, I plant garlic mid Oct. So, imo, I would think zone preference would be more applicable.
Out of curiosity, what size bulb would you find pleasing? I plan on trying some creole garlic this year and can utilize the information for my request. thx
Additional thought: Wouldn't the CLOVE size be of more importance? Some bulbs have a large number of cloves, while others distribute 8 or so. So a 2" bulb with only 8 cloves sounds suitable, IDK.
