ABSTRACT:
A harvesting machine particularly useful in harvesting pyrethrum flowers has picking fingers resiliently mounted on a rotatable drum so as to capable of flexions in response to contact with plants during harvesting. The spacing between fingers in one array mounted on the drum is preferably different than the spacing in another array, with the more widely spaced array of fingers serving to comb through a plant canopy while the more closely spaced together array of fingers causes flower picking off the stem. The harvesting machine provides good efficiency picking of flower heads without a large amount of undesired plant material.
