Engraver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved flower holder & the same is carried
out as follows
I provide a spring clip which is secured to the garment between the folds of
the material forming the garment so as not to be visible. The button hole is split
or open so that the stem or stalk of the flower may be passed between the spring
clip which is so formed that the effect of pressure upon the ends of the clip will
cause the stem or stalk of the article to be released therefrom.
The two parts forming the clip are connected together by means of a hinge or
pivot so that the stem or stalk of the flower may be gripped or released as
desired.
