Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. The theme of the 1934 Rose Parade was: Tales of the Seven Seas. It rained during the parade that year. The "Adohr-able Nymphs" float with Father Neptune driving 3 life-size white horses with a large shell behind him. The places for 30 nymphs are empty due to the heavy rain. The Pasadena Memorial Flagpole (Goodhue Flagpole) is visible behind the float in its original location in the middle of the intersection of Orange Grove and Colorado Boulevard. The float was entered by Adohr Milk Farms. Text from original nitrate sleeve: Tournament of Roses. Floats: Long Beach, Paramount, Metropolitan Water Dist., Texaco, Adohr-able Nymphs
