Old Gardening Books Worth a Look

Copyright law can be a bit tricky but generally, often after 70 years books lose the copyright that protects the author. Works published after 1923, but before 1978 are protected for 95 years from the date of publication. Often the books are "dated" but they are just as often worth a thorough perusal with the caveat, that cultural practices could be "dated". If you have always disliked wasps, reading Wasps and Their Ways could give you a better understanding of why God put them here with us.  Here are a few gardening books available electronically from Kellcraft Studios.
