E, W. REID’S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC- 
SALOME. From Illinois, and especially valuable for its hardiness, prolific bearing 
and long keeping. The tree comes into bearing early. It may be described in brief thus : 
Tree is round headed, making short annual growths after coming into bearing; has tough 
wood, large, thick, leathery leaf, and is as hardy as a wild crab. No matter how heavily 
loaded, the fruit is always good sized and clings to the tree with a tenacity possessed by 
few, if any, other varieties, and withstands the winds when other varieties are scattered 
on the ground. Fruit medium, roundish, conical; pale yellow, slightly shaded with pale 
red, splashed and striped with dark red and sprinkled with small yellow dots; flesh 
tender, juicy, mild sub-acid. January to June. First-class, 25c. each, $2 per doz.,$12 per 100.
