of growing unusual flowers. In one
year. trying to make up for lost
time, he authorized his young gar
dener to spend SOS, 900 for the best
seeds, bulbs, nursery stock that
money could buy.
That gave me the breeding stock

calls Reinelt.
Overwhelmed by this good for

pollinated plants on a wholesale
scale and without much method.
With a genius for making plants
grow plus sheer good luck, he pro-
duced a number of flowers larger
and in better colors than any on the
market. Then his employer died. and
Reinelt had to find another job. He
landed one on nearby estate, and
continued his plant breeding.
Every so often. among his thou
sands of crosses. an outstanding
plant occurred, one with larger
flowers in more gorgeous colors and
better form. Delphinium and tuber-
GUS begonias in particular seemed to
respond to his coaxing. so he con-
centrated on them.
About the time that he became an
American citizen, Reinelt hit upon
a great idea. He was cross-pollinat-
ing the four established strains of
delphinium, then recrossing them
with the wild cardinal variety. hop

knew as soon as the plants
blossomed that Nature had
given him what every plant
breeder prays for; the one

which to build a bigger,
better variety. From this
beginning he developed the
Pacific Strain of delphinium
that won grand prizes in
flower shows the world over.
Overnight Reinelt was ia
nous. Soon he was growing
100000 delphlnium plants
each year.
Reinelt's experience with
tuberous begonias was
equally spectacular. He
crossed the best types Of
begonias grown from Eng
lish seed, then carefully Sc
leCted parent stock from
these and repeated the pro-
cess. He made more gains
in a single decade with the
flower than European breed

vious 80 years. He more

Rare One
Now and then. Reinelt comes
across "the perfect breeding plant"
one that has color, vigorous growing
habits and the ability to pass along
these characteristics to its progeny.
A plant like No. 3, for instance,
which the flower wizard describes as
"a little salmon which may not look
like much but which | wouldn't sell
for SIS 900" Its progeny have masses
of perfect blossoms.
Right now. Reinelt is aiming at
dwarf plants with large double
flowers in rich colors: reds, pinks,
salmons, aprlcots. yellows, creams,
whites, on stiff stems that stand
straight up. The hardest job ahead
OF him, he says. is to build plant
that will stand hot weather.
Reinelt's dream is to make the
flower that once flourished only on
millionaires' estates common bloom
in everybody's garden. This spring
the ebullient young flower builder is
realizing another dream: a model
nursery on the cliff overlooking
Monterey Bay, where he can show
his 1000. 900 tuberous begonias in an
enormous. dazzling garden. AS his
wife points out, it will give Reinelt
more room for his special hobby.
This, believe it or not, is breeding

A pair of new records were
hung up in the city basketball
league play last night, but their
glory was hollow.
The Paganetti Lumber team,
undefeated leader of the loop
had itself field day against the
hapless M cunt Clemens Ath-
letic Club, raining in 70 points
for a new team scoring record |;
all but one of the points were
from fieldgoals.
Dottie Macdonald, rugged
forward on the Timberjacks, was
responsible for the second mark.
He personally collected over
half of his crews total by drop
ping in ID field goals and one
free throw for a total of 81
points, a new record by a four
point margin.
ACCORDING TO FORM
Other games went off accord
ing to form, with the Super
Cleaners bouncing the Tigers,
36-15, in the opener; the Bus
mess Men trouncing the Mer-
chants, 44-23, and Gray's edg-
ing the Brown Bombers, 20-18.
The two marks cracked by
the Timberjacks brought them
little credit besides place in
the record book. Their oppon-
ent, the M.C.A.C. team, has not
won a game during the season,
has never scored over IA points
and in its first two clashes total
ed only six tallies. They have
been the doormat for every team
in the circuit, but have never
failed to put full squad on the
floor for each game.
TWO-YEAR-OLD RECORD
Former team scoring record
was held by the old Merchants
team, scored in the 1910 half of
the 1939-1940 season. Champ
ions that year, they walloped
the Brunswick five, 1928, after
having gained a narrow victory
of 26-19 in the first round meet
ing. Louis Glass, Lloyd Hook
in and AL Smith were leading
scorers on the team.
The old individual scoring
mark was held jointly by Russ
Babe, center on the Cleaners
team this year, and Hank Cap
ron at 33 points. Both chalked
up their total last year.
20 IN LAST HALF
Macdonald, who did not play
all of the game, scored all but
9 of his points in the second
half. He got the majority on tip
ms and sleeper plays.
Paced by Russ Babe with IL
points, the Cleaners had little
trouble in knocking off the Tig-
ers by a 36-15 score. BY vir-
tue of their win, the Cleaners
stayed in a tie for second place
with the victorious Business
Men. Guard Jim Benoit, with
three field goals and a charity
toss, paced the losing Tigers with
seven points.
Although winning by 81
point margin, the Business Men
had a tougher time with the
Merchants than the .44-23 score
indicated. Lloyd Hockin, guard,
poured in ID points to take scor-
ing honors for the Business Men
while the Merchants divided
theirs evenly, Larry Steeh being
