John Cage on Irises

George Mantor had an iris garden, which he improved each year by throwing out the commoner varieties. One day his attention was called to another very fine iris garden. Jealously he made some inquiries. The garden, it turned out, belonged to the man who collected his garbage.
John Cage, Silence, Wesleyan University Press, 1973, p. 263.
