Marguerite (La Marguerite}. A well-known and popular variety of 

 French origin with very large conical or cockscomb-shaped fruit, which 

 ripens very early. Skin bright shining red. Flesh white, tinged with 

 pink, firm, moderately juicy, and sweet, but lacking a high flavour. 

 Plant robust, hardy, and bears freely. This is a favourite kind in 

 Australia on account of its earliness, as also because the fruit being firm 

 carries well to market.
