Abstract
Research has been carried out on the inheritance of the solidity of the cauliflower curd. Assuming that this character depends on a number of polygenic factors, the occurring segregations could be explained. Plants with the same solidity may be of a highly different genetic nature, and in propagation may segregate very differently.
During selection proper attention should be paid to the solidity of the curds, the more so as loose plants propagate more rapidly.
