Fred used to say that, in his opinion, gardening was the highest art form. In his hands, it certainly was. He was never happier than when working in his many gardens in the upstate New York country house. His illustration for the jacket of this compendium of relevant suppliers is certainly an explicit translation of the title, and also of his self-identity.

1977
Doubleday Books
First Edition,
Hardcover
ISBN:
9780385099165
Although masterfully done, this jacket is surprising to anyone familiar with Fred’s work. At that early stage of his book cover career, all publishers wanted “the big book look,” meaning huge type and a small descriptive illustration. Subsequently, he spent many years combating that formula, but for this one, he appears to have delivered.
