| Summary | "Fruits of the Hawaiian Islands" by Gerrit Parmile Wilder is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. It provides a comprehensive account of both indigenous and naturalized fruits found in the Hawaiian Islands, aiming to deepen the understanding of their characteristics, cultivation, and significance. The opening of the text introduces the author's prefatory notes and intent, explaining that this revised edition integrates data from an earlier publication initially intended as a multi-volume work. It acknowledges the contributions of various horticultural works and friends who aided in the research. The section also suggests a variety of fruits, such as the avocado and pomegranate, which are discussed in detail, emphasizing their taxonomy, growth habits, and peculiarities. Each fruit is accompanied by illustrations that enhance the reader's familiarity with these tropical fruits. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
