For those of you who have one of the various e-readers out there (Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, etc.) or simply do not have time to run out to the bookstore to read up on gardening ideas, I found a great site that lists thousands of free (out of copyright) books that can be downloaded to whatever e-reader you have, or just to plain text or HTML. Among these thousands of ebooks, I came across a good many gardening texts published in the late 1800s and early 1900s, several with great illustrations. Having read through most of them, I found the information to still be applicable today, and as a result, I highly recommend them.
