Fruits of the Hawaiian Islands

This work surveys the indigenous and naturalized fruit-bearing plants grown across the Hawaiian archipelago, presenting systematic descriptions and 121 half-tone plates. Entries treat botanical characteristics, varieties, cultivation notes, ripening seasons, flavor and culinary uses, and propagation methods for species ranging from avocado, breadfruit, and coconut to citrus, tropical nuts, and lesser-known island fruits. Plates are captioned with varietal details and measurements. A preface explains compilation and revisions. The arrangement is largely alphabetical by genus with brief cultural remarks, making the book a practical horticultural catalogue and identification guide rather than a narrative.
