I planted two types of hops and forgot which plant was which. One was Fuggles and the other were Cascade. Is there a way to tell which is which?
 
Smell them and taste them.

Cascade - Unmistakable grapefruit citrus aroma and flavor. Signature hop of many American microbrews.

Fuggles - Classic English aroma hop. Mild, soft herbal aroma. Use in all English beers: pale ale, brown ale, porter, stout.
 
Take a few cones from each and steep in a cup of boiling water for five minutes.
Cool and taste.
Still not certain?
