Lawyer and horticulturist.
Frederic P. Lee was an expert on agricultural problems and counseled in the
preparation of many federal farm relief bills and other measures, reports, and legal
arguments. In addition to his membership in various law firms, he held several
government posts, including assistant legislative draftsman of the House, 1919, and
legislative counsel of the Senate, 1923. He later served as special counsel to the
Secretary of Agriculture. Lee also was professor of law at Georgetown University
from 1929 to 1935. Due to his interest in horticulture, he served as chairman of the
advisory council of the National Arboretum from 1946 to 1948; was a member of the
Maryland National Capitol Park and Planning Commission; and wrote THE AZALEA BOOK
and articles for law journals and horticultural magazines.
