WNTOWN STORE 
\4odern Seed Store" 
Los Angeles 
Indirect lighting has been installed 
throughout. In the seed sections, low 
wall fixtures conveniently display 
long rows of lithographed seed pack¬ 
ets, illustrating flowers and vegetables 
in natural colors. Above are frames 
holding transparencies of flowers in 
season offering further aid in making 
timely selections. At one side is a 
comfortable consultation room where 
catalogues and books may be ex¬ 
amined at leisure. Bulbs and garden 
supplies are in sections on either side 
of a central aisle which leads towards 
the rear and the nursery department. 
Pottery sections are at the front on 
either side of the entrance. 
The upstairs sections offer im¬ 
proved features for pet fanciers. 
There is a pet clinic to which pet 
fanciers may bring their animals and 
birds for consultation and a hospital 
and boarding home for birds. 
Here, too, much thought has been 
given to color and light. For example, 
the separate room for bird display is 
a bright white and blue color scheme, 
the background for tropical fish dis¬ 
play is marine blue, and two shades 
of buff and tan decorate the dog de¬ 
partment. This department has a 
runway eighteen feet long for the dis¬ 
play of pets, eighteen dog kennels 
and an extensive shop of dog and pet 
supplies. The fish tanks, built in 
alcoves and all illuminated with in¬ 
direct lighting, are another interesting 
feature on the second floor. Gold fish 
and rare tropical fish as well as curi¬ 
ous aquatic plants are always on dis¬ 
play there and attract many visitors. 
Sightseeing is easy and exciting at 
Germain’s.
