Salzer’s Independence or 4th of July Corn 
The Largest Eared, Heaviest Yielding, Extra Early Sweet Corn 
Our sales of this Sweet Corn have been enormous and are increasing from year to vear. Our supply, although 
always larger than that of the preceding year, generally has been exhausted befoiVthe end of the season. We 
do not hesitate to say now that more of Salzer’s Independence Corn has been planted all over the country in the 
last few years than of any other extra early sort. 
Comparative tests made in our trial ground prove Salzer’s Independence far superior in size, productiveness 
and delicious quality to any other first early variety; the many testimonials we have received, a few of which are 
printed here, show the satisfaction this corn has given wherever used. 
The vig-orous stalks grow about five feet high and vnoduce generally two fine long ears. 10 to 12 rowed, and about 10 
Inches long, which are very symmetrical and handsome. The grains, which are tightly set, are large, deeper than 
broad, very white, and are of an exquisite fine quality, usually found only in the later sorts. Quite often reports have 
reached us of ears of our Independence Corn having been in edible condition in 45 to 50 days from planting the seed 
and if-sown in the fore part of May in our section in a favorable season, luscious ears of thfs variety should surely be 
ready for the table by July the 4tli.
