offered. Covered with hook-like spikes which are ex¬ 
actly the shape of fisl 
hooks and from 2 % to 1 
inches in length. The 
hooks are very hard, al¬ 
most as strong as steel, 
and as sharp as the fin¬ 
est manufactured fish 
hook. It is claimed that 
they have been used by 
Indians of the Southwest 
for fish hooks for many 
centuries. The famous 
Cactus Candy is also 
made from this plant. 
The Fish Hook Cactus is 
easily grown from seed.
