This apple is remarkable for its peculiarities rather than its 

 value. It is too small for profitable marketing, and the value 

 it might otherwise derive from its keeping quality is neutral- 

 ized by the fact that larger and better fruits may be kept till 

 new apples come in, except, possibly, in southern climates.
