Salzer’s Independence or 4th of July Corn 
Our 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. Matures in 60 days. 
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 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 50 to 55 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. ‘Tt is the LARGEST 
EARED and HEAVIEST YIELDING EXTRA EARLY 
SWEET CORN, bar none. A great seller at market. Sixty 
days 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. Anton Aaberg, Box 16, Starbuck, Minn., writes, 
“Salzer’s 4th of July Sweet Corn last year was a real suc- 
cess. We had sweet corn long before others.” Mr. John 
Bauer, R.D. 2, Box 128, Independence, Mo., writes, “I find 
your 4th of July Sweet Corn the earliest in the market 
and we grow it every year.” Mrs. Helena Luetke, Rost- 
hern, Sask., Canada, writes, “Your 4th of July Corn did 
very good again’ even under adverse conditions.” Mrs. 
Beatrice Elwell, 3017 Margaret St., Auburn Heights, Mich., 
writes, “Your 4th of July Sweet Corn was remarkably 
early and the ears were good large size. It was delicious.” 
Mr. lL. O. Champe, Garnett, Kansas, writes, “I picked my 
first Independence or Fourth Of July Corn today, June 23. 
Will be sold out before the Fourth.”
