Securing means are arranged on a wall of the frame for securing it to a wall of the container in a position in which the frame is partially submerged in the water but is slightly spaced from the floor of the container. The securing means comprise an L-shaped bracket arranged across a rear wall of the frame with thumb screws extending through the bracket to secure the U-shaped frame to the container wall. A stem locator is secured to the frame in a submerged condition and substantially parallel with the floor. The locator comprises a pair of spaced arms extending from a body portion. Said arm are laterally separated by a cutting edge. A pair of pusher rollers are respectively arranged above and below the locator and are adapted to reciprocate transversely of the spaced arms. Stems positioned in the locator are engaged by the rollers and moved into contact with the cutting edge effectuating cutting thereof.
