GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter, 1936) - Deep red, darker than 'Display’; standards dull in color, falls drooping in smooth curve, venation on haft moderate; beard sparse; has good height and size of flowers; branching good.

GARDEN MAGIC is one of my favorite reds so far as the individual flower is concerned, but it is a shy bloomer which takes some time to get established. Wills, Jesse, (1943). Older Iris I Would Buy Again, American Iris Society Bulletin, 89 (April 1943), 16.
Cooley's Gardens catalog 1946]: After 10 years this continues to hold a place right up in front amongst the best of red irises. A very late, very large and very velvety deep red self, it increases slowly and the demand always exhausts the supply. HM AIS, 1937. Each $1.50.
