Recent choices: the Baltimore Lemon Stick, featuring spearmint and lemon, and the Earth n' Eats Strawberry, which tasted like, well, real strawberries, in all their sweet and slightly acidic glory.

Cook your batch the same as for Lemon Stick, about twelve pounds, pour it out on the slab, fill an ordinary glass half full of tartaric acid, add a little water, and work it into a paste; scatter this over the batch, also a few drops of lemon oil.

Same as Mint, except leave the batch clear; place on it a white stripe, as in Lemon Stick Candy.

Then put your candy house together, sides first, and take pieces of lemon stick candy, dip them in the hot candy, and stick in the bottom and top corners of your house; hold them a few seconds to cool, then finish likewise.

Even town-bred Fred, who had feasted on Parisian bonbons, and made himself ill by eating strange fruits off Christmas-trees, owned to the purity and delectability of old Mrs Birch’s “butterscotch;” while, as to the brown lemon stick, it was beyond praise.
