CALIFORNIA PACIFIC 
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION 
SAN DI ECO 
August 12, 1935 
Germain Seed and Plant Company, 
Los Angeles, California. 
Gentlemen: 
Now that our California Gardens Exhibit is 
at its height I am reminded that your firm was 
the first large establishment to see the possibili¬ 
ties of the project, and agreed to take a major 
part in it. 
Tour fine spirit of cooperation and under¬ 
standing all through have been tremendously 
helpful, and you have made an outstanding con¬ 
tribution to the Exposition's aesthetic side. 
Tour lovely display is thronged with admir¬ 
ing people every hour of the day, and if ail the 
snapshots taken of the garden turn out success¬ 
fully, you will have a place in many family 
photographic albums throughout the country. 
Faithfully yours. 
W. L. VAN 9CHAICK, 
Director, Landscaping and Ground*.
