Deer Park, Ala. 



to know where to obtain seed of Balch's 

 Fillbasket tomato. This seed may be 

 obtained from Charles Sharpe & Co., 

 Ltd., Sleaford, England. We believe 

 that Messrs. Sharpe hold the sole whole- 

 sale agency for this seed. We do not 

 know of any source in the United States 

 where it may be procured. 



Margaret Leahy. 



In reply to a question in The Eeview 

 for December 21, I would say that I am 

 growing the Fillbasket tomato in our 

 houses from seed procured from Sutton 



& Sons, Reading, England, through 

 Winter, Son & Co., 64 Wall street. New 

 York. I find it a strong grower and 

 sure setter, with fruit of medium size, 

 smooth and early; the best variety fop 

 forcing I have ever handled. 



T. P. Connor. 



We have a crop of Balch's Fillbasket 

 tomatoes ripening here, at East 

 Patchogue, N. Y., and can supply a lim- 

 ited amount of seed to the parties in- 

 quiring through The Review. Wc have 

 some clusters of fruit with twentv-one
