Margaret (English Table)
called also Red Juneeating

This is a remarkably early Apple ripening
about the 4th July with the yellow Juneting.  It is
about the same diameter but longer , a little diminished
towards the crown which is rather large. The stem
is short and planted in a cavity of more than common
depth. The skin a beautiful smooth lively red and
yellow, blotched in wide streaks towards the Sun. The
flesh is rich sprightly & tender, of a fine flavor and
uncommon excelling as a cooking apple.  The
trees of moderate & upright growth and <s>spreading form</s>.
It is highly esteemed as one of the best early fruits in
the London Market, and a fruitful bearer.
When pared for cutting it turns yellow in 10 or 20 minutes
from the saccharine quality of its flesh, which makes it the
finest early cooking apple I have ever seen.
