<br/><br/> The study "Effect of Varying Amounts of Complete Fertilizer on the Growth and Flowering of African Daisytt was conducted in Tagaytay City, from October to December, 1981. The objectives of the study were : (1) to evaluate the effect of varying amounts of complete fertilizer (14-14-14) on the growth and flowering of african daisy; and (2) to determine the most effective rate of complete fertilizer (14-14-14) on the growth and flowering of african daisy. <br/>A 500 square-meter field was plowed and horrowed to loosen the soil for better aeration. The field was divided into five plots to represent the replication. Each replication was sub-divided into five equal plots for the treatments. A Randomized Complete Block Design was used in this study. Different rates of complete fertilizer (14-14-14) were used such as : 200 kgm/ha. (Treatment 1),  300 kgm/ha. Cfreatment 2), 400 kgm/ha (Treatment 3),  500 kgm/ha (Treat-ment 4)  and 600 kgm/ha (Treatment 5). Based on the result of this study, African daisy, applied at the rate of 600 kgm/ha. produced the best result with regard to the average number of days from planting to flowering, average number of flower per plant, and average length of peduncle in centimeter.<br/>
