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 year. Our supply, 
although always larger than that of the preceding 
year, generally has been exhausted before the 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, productive¬ 
ness and delicious quality to any other first early va¬ 
riety; the many testimonials we have received, a few 
of which are printed here, show the satisfaction this 
corn has given wherever used. 
The vigorous stalks grow about five feet high and fre¬ 
quently produce two fine long ears, 10 to 12 rowed, and 
about 'l0 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 this variety should surely be ready for the table by 
July the 4th. 
Salzer’s Independence or Fourth of July Corn, an intro¬ 
duction of ours of over a quarter of a century ago, yields 
first place to none for extreme extra-earliness, and is the 
earliest white sweet corn grown. It is the LARGEST 
EARED and HEAVIEST YIELDING EXTRA EARLY 
SWEET CORN, bar none. A great seller at market. Sixty 
clays from planting one should pluck mature sweet corn, 
so that at your Independence Day dinner you can serve 
sweet, luscious, tender, finest quality corn on the cob— 
ears 10 inches and more in length, each having 10 to 12 
rows, symmetrical, handsome, and with nicely rounded, 
rather blunt, tips. 
Mr. D. D. Millinger, Kinderhook, Ill., writes, “We have 
planted Salzer’s Independence Corn for a number of years, 
and this year had our first sweet corn on June 27.” Mr. 
Chilton E. Downing, R. D. 8, Lexington, Ky., writes, “I 
planted your Independence Sweet Corn and it did remark¬ 
ably well.” Mrs. Arnie G. Watkins, R. D. 1, Coweta, Okla., 
writes, “Your Independence Sweet Corn sure was fine. We 
bad beautiful ears before anyone thought of having corn 
for the market.” Mr. A. Muellenbach, R. D. 3, Fond du 
Lac, Wis., writes, “Planted your 4tli of July Sweet Corn 
on .June 24 and had our first ripe ears on August 5. Our 
neighbors asked w'here we secured the seed.”
