Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carnations, Picotees and Pinks: Second And; Revised Edition A new work concerning the Carnation needs no apology. Manuals have been written in the past about the same beautiful flower, but during recent years many varieties have been raised, and new groups formed, to give interest to the family of which the pretty Dianthus Caryophyllus, happy in its crevices of the lichen-stained castle wall, is the ancestor. The Carnation must play its rightful part in the garden, and not be relegated to the greenhouse, to yield its flowers merely for general or personal decoration. It is a great garden flower, faulty in some ways, perhaps, but with faults that the raisers of the future must correct. Poor colours, split flowers, absence of perfume, and weakly growth are not desirable attributes. If this work should kindle still greater enthusiasm for the Carnation, rich in its varied colouring and as sweet as the rose itself in fragrance, it will not have been written in vain.

Book excerpt: Ornamental plants are economically important worldwide. Both growers and consumers ask continuously for new, improved varieties. Although there are numerous ornamental species, ornamental plant breeding and plant breeding research is mainly limited to some major species. This book focuses on the recent advances and achievements in ornamental plant breeding. The first part of the book focuses on plant traits and breeding techniques that are typical for ornamental plants. Eminent research groups write these general chapters. For plant traits like flower colour or shape, breeding for disease resistance and vase or shelf life are reviewed. General technical plant breeding chapters deal with mutation breeding, polyploidisation, in vitro breeding techniques and new developments in molecular techniques. The second part of the book consists of crop-specific chapters. Here all economically major ornamental species are handled together with selected representative species from different plant groups (cut flowers, pot plants, woody ornamental plants). In these crop-specific chapters, the main focus is on recent scientific achievements over the last decade.
