"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.

a multi-volume work. It acknowledges the contributions of various horticultural works and friends who aided in the research.
