Back when Ontariarairio was young, the common yellow cultivar was
Golden Bantam. In the last twenty or so years, it was replaced
almost overnight by Peaches and Cream ("deux couleurs" in Québec)
and you really can't get anything else, except at farmer's markets,
if you are very very lucky. There are growers out there who do
have different cultivars, but they are hard to find.

In Québec, there is more of a tradition of agricultural
experimentation so a greater variety can be found, especially from
organic farmers.
