The Book of Rarer Vegetables by George Wythes,Gardener to the Duke of
Northumberland & Harry Roberts,1906,VGC,109 pages.
Really useful old gardening manual on sone very unusual
vegetables,with a small section at the end of each section on how to
cook or pickle. Contains some georgeous period engravings.

I think that old gardening books are worth their weight in gold, considering
the amount of information they have in them. Often they sell for next to
nothing.

I personally like Sanders' Encyclopedia of Gardening, revised by A.J.
MacSelf. Originally published in 1895, now up to 1934 at least.
