Laurocerasus 
(Prunus Laurocerasus) 
Laurocerasus caroliniana. (Cerasus caroliniana; Prunus 
caroliniana) . Wild Olive or Mock Orange or the 
South. This well-known hardy evergreen can be 
safely classed as a tree, as it attains a height from 
20 to 40 feet. It is very desirable as a single speci¬ 
men or for grouping, as it makes a most effective 
background in landscape work. Can also be pruned 
in standard, pyramidal, and other formal shapes. We 
offer a fine stock of thrifty, transplanted plants. As 
the Carolina Cherry is difficult to transplant, it is 
always advisable to defoliate and cut back severely, 
and unless authorized to the contrary all plants will 
be so treated before shipment.
