Jerusalem artichokes are always, AFAIK, sold either with the adjective
"Jerusalem" or under the name "sunchokes", and never called simply
"artichokes". Unqualified artichokes are green and thistly-looking, and
are, well, artichokes. However, sometimes stores that sell both use the
qualifier of "globe artichokes" to distinguish them from "Jerusalem artichokes".
