Gallery 4

Garcia is seated fourth from left, front row in this NMCA&MA faculty portrait. In an article about the influence and prominence of the college's Agricultural Experiment Station, Margaret Page Hood wrote, "Dr. Garcia, who has been director and horticulturalist since 1914... is one of the most modest men in science."
Garcia meets with Mexican government officials in 1930.  Garcia said that personal cultural development should include, "an active interest in the doings of the world at large, entailing some acquaintance with men and women of note in other spheres of life;"
"The Station had grown into a powerful influence in the rising importance of the agricultural and livestock industries.  It's growth reflected  the  close touch one man has kept on the pulse of New Mexico's needs.  The experiments carried on in this state proved valuable not only to New Mexico farmers but to their neighbors also."
Official Opening of the Southwestern Arboretum.  Superior, Arizona - April 6, 1929.  Garcia is in the center on the back row.
In a valentine from Mr. A.J. Cigar was a poem for Garcia:

He's director of the Station
And, we've heard, he can direct,
So he's won our hearty admiration,
And also our respect.
