Scope and content
Johnny Northrup hands Robert J. Lloyd, the Pierce County Red Cross chairman, a big bunch of daffodils. In 1945 the Puyallup Valley Daffodil Festival, Inc. joined forces with the Red Cross to provide a dozen daffodils to every serviceman in a military hospital in Pierce County on Easter Sunday. Due to the war, there had not been a daffodil festival since 1941. It was estimated that the valley growers would donate over 50,000 daffodils to the Red Cross for the special Easter morning they had planned. (TNT, 3/25/45, p. 1).
