(1946) ARCTIC---I saw this again in several gardens but I am still unimpressed. [Unknown author, Varietal Comment. AIS Bulletin #101 (April 1946): 72
(1948) Arctic is of perfect form, with broad falls and ruffled standards, but, to me, it is less attractive than its parent, Birchbark. [A Critical Evaluation of Older Iris<, A.I.S. Bulletin 110:54/July 1948]
