My original intention with regard to this work, was to publish it in a series of three volumes; and to that end, the first volume was presented to the public in 1906. Since that time, however, I have deemed it advisable, for various reasons, to incorporate all my data in one volume. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness for help in my researches, to various works on Horticulture, and to many of my personal friends who have given me valuable assistance. I trust that this work will prove of some interest, as I believe that it contains a fairly comprehensive list of both the indigenous and naturalized Fruits of the Hawaiian Islands.
