FLOWERING CRABS [Malus] 
No tree could be more lovely than are these in their first 
stage of deep colored, round, shiny buds ; then their second 
stage of part buds and part opened flowers; followed by a

final gesture, later, when the trees are sparkling with bril¬ 
liant fruits—varying in size and color, according to the variety.
