An offshoot of the celery species, producing an edible root instead of edible leaves. Just how long Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted Celery, has been in cultivation is unknown. Its history as a garden vegetable can be traced definitely as far back as the middle of the seventeenth century, although writers for a century or more previous to this time made references which would seem to relate to this vegetable, but the identity is obscure. Its origin was probably the same as that of the common garden celery, of which it. is doubtless a state wherein the root has become en- larged and edible. This form is supposed to be the one most remotely removed from the wild state. Celeriac is very little grown in this country, and to Americans is almost unknown, but it is much prized in Europe. It is cultivated chiefly where there is a Ger- man population. Fifteen or 20 varieties are mentioned in the seed catalogues, but there is very little difference in the various sorts, some seedsmen even making no distinction between varieties, but catalogue the plant simi'ly as Cekriac.
