Scope and content
Several young women in matching dresses, possibly the Daffodil Festival princesses, pose in April of 1946 with arms full of sunshine yellow daffodils in the famed Puyallup Valley fields. Hills and the snow covered peak of Mount Rainier fill the background. The King Alfred Daffodil almost singlehandedly saved the agricultural economy of the Puyallup Valley after a virus decimated the hops crop in the mid twenties. TPL-8251 (see D2512-3 for original photograph; mountain ranges and Mount Rainier superimposed onto original photograph in 1953)
