A flower stem guide (9) is secured to a diametrical slot in the cover and projects inwardly into the liquid. The guide is triangular U-shaped unit defining a base wall in spaced relation to the opposite jar wall. The vertical edge of the guide sidewall project inwardly. A guillotine cutting unit (1) includes a cutting support blade (11) secured in the lower inner end of the guide and a guillotine blade (12) secured to a shaft (13) journaled in the cover, with the guillotine blade abutting the eges of the U-shaped guide. The guillotine blade is resiliently supported on a shaft journaled in the cover for movement past the support blade to sever the stem under the protective liquid. The shaft is manually operated or connected to a small solenoid on the top of the cover. If solenoid operated, the stem may strike a lever in the jar at the appropriate location to energize the solenoid and sever the stem.</p> |
