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.]

  • [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 -- DavidPotembski - 01 May 2013
