Milk flows from a large tilted bottle tended by a milk maid (Dorothy Bowster) on the "California Poppies" float entered by the Golden State Milk Co. The milk bottle rests on a large poppy. Float riders are seated in large poppies on the front of the float and another rider is seated on a throne behind the milk bottle. The float riders are: Sue Ann Eschmeyer, Anniece Achieris, Maxine Bennett, May Jane Bowser and Joan Davids. The float was photographed at the intersection of Orange Grove Blvd. and Colorado Blvd.
The theme of the 1935 forty-sixth annual Rose Parade was "Golden Legends."
