Artist's renderings and photographs depicting parade floats designed from the 1930s to the 1950s by floral designer Malcolm P. Hutchinson (1899-1978) of Portland, Oregon. Most of the floats represented were designed for the Portland Rose Festival. Hutchinson worked for florist Tommy Luke until 1951, when he left to focus on the Hutchinson School of Floral Design, which he had founded in the 1940s.

Nine photographs of parade floats for Portland General Electric Co. in the Portland Rose Festival, 1954 and 1964, and an unidentified parade featuring rail cars depicting Oregon agriculture and industry.
