Eleanor: Here is the description of Cantabile as it appears in EB
Williamson's Longfield Iris Garden Catalog of 1930. I hope that this may
be of some assistance.
<A stout stemmed amoena of the general garden effect of Lycaena, Daphne,
and Rhein Nixe but greatly superior to all of these in clearness and
distinct beauty under close inspection. Height 32 inches, stalk well
branched about or above midheight. 6 flowers, well spaced. Flowers
medium, 3¾ inches high x 4½ inches wide. Standards arching cupped;
nearly circular; shining white; region of the claw Picric Yellow which
is sparsely maroon veined. Falls flaring-drooping; very broadly
wedge-shaped; Amethyst Violet shading out to a broad white margin; haft
whitish, very narrowly yellowish edged, narrow maroon veins; beard
Cadmium Yellow. Style arms same color as standards. Leaves green,
purplish tinged at base; slightly lax. Vigorous. Odor slight.>
