Garden Magic: (Grinter). Without a doubt the grandest red out; it has everything. An iris that will be desirable for years to come. [Belsley, Ray J., Varietal Comments. Bulletin of the American Iris Society 74 (July 1939), 17.] |
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter)-I finally saw it well grown in several gardens this year, and it is close to the top in the red class. [Junius P. Fishburn, "Survey of 1940 Iris Season", A.I.S. Bulletin 78 (July 1940): 54.] |
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.] |
