Dutch is sometimes called "Dutch Giant". Haven't heard of it under the Giant
of Uitbergen name. From personal experience, it is quite a bit bigger than
Nottingham.
Looking at pictures, I think the biggest variety around is either Large
Russian, Puciu Big or Puciulot, none of which I've seen myself. Scroll down
on this page: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/shrubs/msg0416174328502.html?10 for
a picture of Large Russian with an apple. Puciu Big & Puciulot can be
compared with some other cultivars here: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_imag.pl?24182

The Home Orchard Society has an edible demonstration garden at Clackamas
Community College that's really impressive. I was bowled over to see not
one but two medlar varieties there. 'Monstrueuse d'Evreinoff' is truly
monstrous. They also grew a variety called 'Westerveld'. I remember
'Monstrueuse d'Evreinoff' being 2 to 3 times as big as the 'Nottingham' I
grew.
