Nothing goes right for Eloise. The one day she wears her new suede boots, it rains cats and dogs. When the subway stops short, she’s always the one thrown into some stranger’s lap. Plus, she’s had more than her share of misfortune in the way of love. In fact, ever since she realized romantic heroes are a thing of the past, she’s decided it’s time for a fresh start. Setting off for England, Eloise is determined to finish her dissertation on that dashing pair of spies, the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian. But what she discovers is something the finest historians have missed: the secret history of the Pink Carnation—the most elusive spy of all time. As she works to unmask this obscure spy, Eloise stumbles across answers to all kinds of questions. Like how did the Pink Carnation save England from Napoleon? What became of the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian? And will Eloise Kelly escape her bad luck and find a living, breathing hero all her own?

Excerpt from Commercial Carnation Culture: A Practical Guide to Modern Methods of Growing the American Carnation for Market Purposes Speaking of it in the broadest terms, the Carnation is a very remarkable flower and no society and no person has yet fully done justice to its history or to all the attributes surrounding it. We believe we are fulfilling a need in publishing Commercial Carnation Culture. Much useful and informative matter has been collected, and the plan that we began in "Sweet Peas for Profit," of having cultural treatises from different sections of this continent, has been followed. Acknowledgment and hearty thanks are herein tendered to those who have assisted with contributions as mentioned in the following fist: George W. Allwood. - "American Carnations in England." F. J. Ammann, St. Louis, Mo. - "Carnations in the St. Louis Region." J. G. Baclier, Portland, Ore. - "Carnations in the Pacific Northwest." A. F. J. Baur, Indianapolis, Ind. - "Crossbreeding and Hybridizing Carnations." E. T. Cook (the late), Toronto, Can. - "Carnations in Ontario." L. J. Cook, Bush Hill Park, Mdx., Eng. - "The American Carnation as a Bedding Plant." Wm. F. Gude, Washington, D. C. - "Carnations at Washington, D. C." S. J.

This book summarizes recent advances in carnation genome research for large-scale transcriptome analysis, the draft genome sequence, DNA markers and genome mapping, flower color, mutations, flower opening, vase life, interspecific hybridization, fragrance. The carnation is one of the most important ornamental flowers in the world, along with the chrysanthemum and the rose. The genus Dianthus is a member of the Caryophyllaceae and includes more than 300 species of annuals and evergreen perennials. Modern carnation cultivars are the product of highly complex hybridization, owing to their long history of breeding. The carnation genome was first sequenced in ornamentals by a Japanese research team in 2013. The carnation has been genetically improved over the years, and there are various types of flower colors, shapes, patterns, and sizes. In this book, the molecular mechanism of flower color development and the transposable elements responsible for this diversity are studied in detail. In addition, it presents breeding and physiological research for improving flower vase life, one of the most important traits in ornamentals, based on a model of ethylene susceptible flowers. To improve selection efficiency, genomic analysis tools including DNA markers and genetic linkage maps are also highlighted. In closing, the book discusses mutation breeding technologies such as ion-beam irradiation and genetically modified carnations.
