Another "good, old book" is "The Complete Book of Garden Magic"
by Roy E. Biles
I see there's a 1961 edition, but was written in 1941. My edition was from the mid-1950s.
It really is complete!
And it gives some perspective on our concerns about garden chemicals. back then, they dusted with arsenic and nicotine ... NOT good for people or other growing things.
