This Invention relates to improvements in flower holders applicable to coats
habits and dress of various descriptions.
The holder is made of india rubber and consists of a small tube advantageously
formed with a bulb or enlarged lower end and having a narrow neck and flange
which can be passed through a button hole and remain securely fixed therein. By
this means flowers can be held tightly without liability of falling out when stooping
or running. The water in the holder cannot be spilt as in the case of glass or
metal flower holders and no pin or fastening is required.
These improved flower holders can also be fastened inside between the materials
of a coat or other article of dress when it is made and thus be always ready for use.
If desired the neck or mouth only of the holder may be made of india rubber and
the other part of glass or other material.
