Repka Malenka is said to be one of the best keepers among the Russian 

 varieties but the fruit is too small to be valuable (7). 



Hansen (12) gives the following description of this variety: " Fruit below 

 medium, conical to roundish conical, obscurely angular, somewhat irregular 

 and unequal ; surface yellow, striped, splashed, mixed and dotted dull red on 

 sunny side ; dots obscure, few, very minute, white ; cavity regular, obtuse, with 

 considerable radiating russet ; stem medium to long ; basin abrupt, narrow, 

 shallow, slightly corrugated and wrinkled; calyx open or closed, segments 

 erect convergent, very long. Core closed, clasping ; cells round ; tube funnel- 

 shaped, sometimes linear (long and very narrow) ; stamens marginal or 

 median ; seeds about ten, large, plump, packed tightly in the small cells ; flesh 

 white, firm, mild subacid, good. Late winter and spring."
