Abstract: A machine for wrapping elongated articles with tape and/or warp material comprises a rotatably mounted hollow spindle having a concave conical end plate. The spindle is driven rotatably and has a rotatably mounted spool of thread or warp material and a rotatably mounted roll of tape mounted thereon which may be fed through an opening in the face plate for wrapping the article such as a flower stem. A hollow housing is provided for enclosing the majority of the spindle and the rolls of material as well as the driving connection to the spindle. The spindle is adapted to receive the articles to be wrapped which are then axially advanced as the tape and/or warp material is wrapped by rotating the spindle. A guide rod is provided for guiding the article to be wrapped and which is axially advanced as the spindle is driven.
